Why BioShock 2 is a Terrible Idea

One of the editors over at Games Radar has decided to sit down and tell us why he thinks 2K Marin’s BioShock sequel is “a terrible idea”.

There’s a reason no-one makes a big deal out of space missions any more, or the climbing of Everest. There’s a reason no-one gets excited about CGI in these post-Jurassic Park and Terminator 2 days. There’s a reason the Matrix sequels were directionless, unexciting bloats, and there’s a reason no-one’s ever made a sequel to Blade Runner (actually BioShock’s nearest spiritual equivalent, movie-wise).

For that very same reason, BioShock 2 will be a hollow experience in comparison to its predecessor.

And yet it will still make millions. Sad.
