Video Games?

Bioshock 2 is now going to have a Collector's Edition as well as the regular version.

Needless to say, I changed my pre-order to the CE.

It's just 2 extra multiplayer character classes and an art book right?

If it was as cool as the first collectors edition or Fallout 3's collectors edition then i'd get it ... if not then the standard edition is fine.

It sure as heck better be more than just that, as the cost is $40 more than the standard edition!

I may have to look into this, as I am not paying that much for just an art book(I don't play multiplayer, so the extra character classes are useless to me). Gimme stuff I can hold in my hands, not useless things like extra characters or an extra item(such as you would find from Dragon Age, Two Worlds, Hellgate:London, etc.)

Rocka, I just checked out Amazon.ca and it looks like there are a few more extras than that.

It comes with:

-Vinyl 180g LP with Bioshock orchestral score
-Audio CD with Bioshock 2 orchestral score
-Three vintage Rapture advertisement posters(rolled)
-Bioshock 2 Artbook, 164 pages and hardcover

Here is a picture:

I'm a sucker for soundtracks for the games, and this one has one for both Bioshock 1 and 2. If these are the goodies it comes with, I will still get the CE.

That's cool , but i would have loved a "Big Sister" figure to go w/ the "Big Daddy" from the first game.

I think because they had so many problems with the Big Daddy figurines from the Bioshock 1 CE, they didn't want to risk it happening again. A lot of the figurines ended up with their arms being broken off during shipping and they had to return them. It probably cost them a lot of extra money because of this.

The tip of the drill was broken on mine , but i just left it in the package anyway.

Yeah, that was the part I was talking about(although a few arms were totally broken off as well). I think a lot of people wanted them for their collectability and did not want a broken item(since the CE was pretty darned expensive). The drill on mine is intact, but I still left it in the package as well. It is sitting on top on the shelving around my television in my front room.

Ok i just went to Gamestop's web site , Fable 2 greatest hits w/ dlc is $30 now.

But no word on a pc release. Maybe you should save up and get an X-Box 360.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to play on two different systems(my Gamecube is basically just collecting dust as it is). Maybe if I see a cheap one at a garage sale or something I'll get one.

I like a lot of older games. The newest one I own is GTA4, and the newest since that is probably Quake 4.

I like games like old school Unreal Tournament, Final Fantasy (the NES version), Neo Geo's Metal Slug series, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I recently started replaying Quake 2.

Actually, I lied. I have a few newer games that my coworker suggested. Spelunky and Super Meat Boy. They're both deadly platformers.

I've heard the music for Super Meat Boy is quite excellent.

It is! It's an additively fun game. Requires a lot of twitch reflexes, though.
