Bioshock 2

"Local fisherman Eamon Clune, 44, and his wife Charlotte (32) were awoken by the sudden shattering of a window in the front room," a document on the site reads. "Moments later, his daughter Maura, age 7, screamed. Mr Clune rushed to investigate the noise only to notice the unknown attacker racing out of the broken window with 'incredible speed'

"Due to the moonless night, Clune was unable to provide a description of the assailant. He notes that the attacker was thin, above average height and wore some kind of 'red light.'"

This here, are the first story details for Bioshock 2. As I said a while back, I was a bit skeptical about the whole thing, but this has certainly restored my faith in the whole game. It’s set seven years after the original, and appears (according to the text above) to be set in Ireland which should also be nice. Still, no release date yet, so all I can do is wait I suppose.

Sea of Dreams?

You see that? That's a tiny big daddy doll held by what appears to be a little sister in this mind numbing video: Click here to watch it!

OK, I can't believe I stumbled across it but there you go. That's a teaser trailer for.... God dare I say it? Bioshock 2. Sea of... Dreams.

I don't know how to react. The trailer looks good. It gives a little bit of insight. A prequel? Rapture after escaping? Another city built by Andrew Ryan? It looks promising...

But then again, I have this doubt. This nagging doubt. After finishing Bioshock I never wanted to see a sequel because quite frankly it was perfect the way it was. A one off classic, a one that didn't need a sequel. A one that made it's point and left. But this could well mean a mediocre/terrible game that ruins the first one.

And so, I'm not so glad that I checked CVG for ideas today. Infact, I'm of kind of worried now.
