Do you remember that awesome NES game from the 80's called Bionic Commando?  You played a commando character with this weird ass mechanical arm (think Dr. Octopus from Spiderman) that allowed for swinging, climbing, and punching bad guys.  Well, the epic game from the 1980's has now experienced a rebirth into modern badass game.

It is kind of crazy for me to see games that I played on an 8 bit system 20ish years ago get remade with fantastic graphics, amazing game play, and a story that didn't revolve around scrolling text whilst playing typewritter sounds :)

I'm sure many of you grew up playing the original Wolfenstein game (way ahead of it's time) and also enjoyed The Return to Wolfenstein several years back.  Well, I had the rumors of a new evolution in the series and the cinematic opening was released to the internets today.  I'm quite excited and there really is nothing more entertaining that melting the flesh off of Nazis!

The original Bioshock was fantastic.  A first person shooter with a blend of the older Star Wars video games (switching from guns to the Adam related powers) made for great game play.  Unlike most FPS, this game had a fantistic and engaging story with several turns and twists. 

A very tight lipped teaser (I suppose that is the function of a teaser) was released for Bioshock 2 and it wet my appetite for more info about the game.  My wish was granted when I saw a clip from actual game play.  I see huge amounts of potential for this game and I'm filled with glee that you can now use the drill as a mele weapon for the Big Daddy.  I'm also hoping for a handful of new powers as the it got to the point, near the end of the game, where I had heaps of Adam and nothing to spend it on.  I tried to attack my enemies with bees, but found it grossly ineffective.   

Enjoy the footage, and you can bet I'll be there opening day to pick up my copy of Bioshock 2!
