Gamin' NEWS! BioOdyssey

Hi guys!
I'm back!

And what do I find out as soon as I hit the keyboard?

Tons of stuff have changed in only one week... dA has some little minor different details, youtube changed yet again, etc..etc...

Oh, and a sequel to BioShock has been announced?!



Say what..?!? Already?!

BioShock Infinite will be the 3rd BioShock game.
Not a direct sequel to the previous two games, but instead offer a proper brand new story/content/settings.
Probably a good move 2K Games' part after the fans backslash reaction to BioShock 2. People called that 2nd game a pale copy of the original, mostly rehashing the same ol' stuff and losing the originality and unique discovery of a strange world you could only get the first time visiting Rapture City.

 
This time, it will take places in the air, in a Bespin world-inspired city.

The trailer did look nice and it seems like this new setting might offer some nice twists and elements.
Probably something to check out later on, even if you missed the original games. (I only played Bioshock 1)


And here's a trailer for Enslaved: Odyssey to the West:



An action-platformer-brawler. Kinda similar to Ubisoft's Prince of Persia games.


It's a game by Ninja Theory, published by Namco Bandai.
You'll have to explore a pretty amazing world visually, great graphics by the way and quite colorful, and fight your way on your journey...inspired by, some may already found this out, Journey to the West.
Journey to the West is a classic chinese tale, the very one which inspired the early Dragon Ball stories by Akira Toriyama. There's been zillions of mangas, movies and even some games based on that tale.

Anyway, the game has a very unique fantasy-steampunk-Prince of Perisa-esque take on the tale.
It will be out around October 8, 2010 it seems.
At least it will offer a similar experience to the 2008 Prince of Persia game, the closest thing we'll have to a sequel for that one, even if not by Ubisoft themselves!
