It’s amazing how quickly things can fall apart. The floating city of Colombia, created as the 1910s’ perfect, ultimate embodiment of American pride and Jeffersonian principles, is now wracked by a civil war between the ultra-patriotic Founders and the Vox Populi, a violent group of blue-collar workers. Explosions rock the city’s platforms, gunfire erupts in the streets – people are fighting and dying all around you. And you? You’re Booker DeWitt, a rough, former Pinkerton agent, hired to find a girl named Elizabeth and get her out of this airborne warzone. No easy task – it seems everyone on both sides of the revolution hates you, Elizabeth’s out of control super powers are as likely to get you killed as they are to help, and someone called the Songbird is determined to “rescue” Elizabeth and return her to the locked tower where she grew up, like a star-spangled Rapunzel...
Following a teaser trailer revealing its super-secret, much speculated over, and eagerly anticipated BioShock follow-up, Irrational Games ’real-life Big Daddy, Ken Levine, stated, “so obviously you’re not in Rapture anymore.” Talk about an understatement.

To some, "Black College Football" might come off as a racist title for a football videogame. However, the game is based in history – there are 103 historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and many of them know how to play ball. In fact, black college football gives many Black Americans a huge sense of pride and community.
Following the huge success of its previous "Experience" title for Michael Jackson, Ubisoft has granted the gift of motion-controlled immortality to the famous foursome responsible for the soundtracks to just about every major sporting event in the last five years. The Black Eyed Peas - will.i.am, Taboo, apl.de.ap and Fergie - is the multi-platinum genre-crossing group known just as much for their catchy music as they are for their well choreographed moves. Visually and musically, it’s no wonder that they were next in line for their own dance-based game...
Creating role-playing games can be a labor of love (not that it can’t be a labor of money either): creating a storyline, a world, and the people, creatures and items that exist and interact in that world is no mean feat. And when it comes to the upcoming RPG for the DS, Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled, you can tell that a lot of love went into crafting this one.
