BioShock cosplay done at an aquarium is done right

Sept. 12, 2011, 4:39 p.m.

When cosplay is done right it can be awesome; but when it’s done perfectly, it can be damn near magical. That’s likely the best way to describe the BioShock cosplay that took place at Dragon*Con’s “Night at Georgia Aquarium” last week, where group of Irrational staff members took to the aquarium looking for BioShock cosplayers. Saying they “hit the jackpot” would be an understatement...

Paypal founder Peter Thiel pretty much wants to recreate BioShock's Rapture

Aug. 19, 2011, 1:20 a.m.

We're a bit heavy on Gamescom news at the moment, so you'll forgive us if we haven't been writing up every press release sent to us by the Department of Really Good Ideas. However, some Really Good Ideas demand that one sets down one's trailer-watching goggles (professional gear only, you can't have any) and strap on a pair of applauding gloves. One person with such an idea is Peter Thiel, whose work you may have encountered if you've ever paid $1 for a Humble Indie Bundle or underbid on a mercifully-unattended eBay action. Thiel is the founder of Paypal, but his next big plan is more ambitious: seafaring micronations, free from the laws or morality of conventional countries. You see where this is going...

Yes, it was misleading, but perhaps your'll find it within your nerd hearts to offer forgiveness once you see this epic creation up close...

Why the BioShock movie was doomed to fail

Feb. 16, 2011, 1:13 a.m.

“I just wanted to make it a movie,” said director Gore Verbinski of his plans for a big-screen BioShock adaptation, “where, four days later, you're still shivering and going, 'Jesus Christ!'” That was Verbinski's goal when planning to shoot Ken Levine's acclaimed fable of underwater Objectivism: make it as scary as the game, or don't bother making it at all. Speaking to movie site ComingSoon.net, Verbinski frames his decision to leave the project as a refusal to compromise on the game's core elements...

2K has announced a fresh and final DLC installment for Bioshock 2. Called Minerva’s Den, the add-on is a stand-alone, story driven campaign that takes the player out of his heavy Big Daddy boots and into the boots of…well 2K hasn’t said yet.
