Bioshock 2, the sequel of the most acclaimed games from 2007 as been release world wide in the 9th this month. This second opus was eagerly anticipated by player around the world and the critics all gave it very good reviews.

The story takes place 10 years after the event of the first one. You play the first successful prototype of a Big Daddy, brought back from the dead and in search for its little sister who sending mental help messages.

Thought the game is brand new it uses the same graphic engine so don’t expect a massive improvement on this side. It looks slightly better but nothing major.

Great game anyway and we recommend it strongly.

Avatar: the game review

The video game adaptation of the very successful and acclaimed film from James Cameron is produced by Ubisoft Montreal and Lightstorm Entertainment. It is one of the first games to offer stereoscopic 3D, but you will need special equipment to make the most of it.

The game itself is not like the usual movie to game adaptation and doesn’t follow the story line of the film. Scene starts on the same world, as a human mercenary sold to a private mining company. Introduced to the avatar program you will have to choose which side you want to support and bring death on your enemies.

Where the Na’vi side seems a bit harder the base story line are the same, as well as equipments and objectives.

The game is not bad but could have used the richness of James Cameron’s world in a much better and original way. This is a traditional third person shooter so don’t expect anything revolutionary.

Left 4 Dead 2 review

Left 4 Dead was a great game, a zombie killing feast where you and your 3 mates could butcher walking dead bodies by the hundreds.

The second chapter, released recently introduce new weapons, new story line, new bad guys but mainly a new way of getting the job done. Or to be more accurate to not get the job done. Understand that L4D2 is full of new enemies and events to get the party to stop, and through zombies at it.

The addition of melee weapons is surprisingly a big change  in the gameplay. The new settings also bring some daylight scenes, very welcome.

All in all the game is much more than just an extention of the original and is definitely worth it. It was a quick development but we beleive here that Valve made a really good game is such short time.
