2007's
BioShock remains perhaps one of the best games made in the current decade. Developer
2K Boston and its head man Ken Levine not only made an entertaining first person shooter with a few RPG elements but managed to deal with deep themes about choice and freedom in society. And of course the game's art style, depicting art deco looks within an underwater city, hasn't been seen before or since.
That is, of course, until
BioShock 2 comes around. The sequel is being developed by
2K Marin (2K Australia, who created the PC port of the original game, is doing the same for
BioShock 2) but with no input at all from 2K Boston. During
E3 2009 we got to see some new footage (not shown to the public) from the game as well as a live demo of the game's all new multiplayer component.
