That Gaming Site:

I was today reading the 170th issue of PLAY (UK), a magazine dedicated to PlayStation. When I got to page 50, there was an interesting article about Bioshock and I really am anticipating this game, so started to have a read. Something really stuck out to me though.

Coming near the end of the article, I read this,

New to Bioshock on PS3 are separate downloadable Challenge Rooms, Which demand use of the game's plasmids to solve a series of puzzles."

See anything strange? Read again and again…

Bionic Commando producer: 'Bioshock was easy as hell'

PS3 News from N4G | BioShock

PS3 - BioShock - Bionic Commando producer: 'Bioshock was easy as hell'

In an interview with VideoGamer.com, Ben Judd said that gamers now only want to die "once or twice" in games.

When we asked the Capcom producer if he reckons games are too easy on gamers these days, Judd replied: "Yes, I do. I think that if you look at one of the highest praised games of last year, BioShock, BioShock was easy as Hell, I don't care what anybody says. That's what people want. They want to play through it. They want to die once or twice. It's like an interactive movie, sort of. Gamers have lost their will to continually drill down on something."

After revealing special Trophies a couple days ago for the "survivor mode" in PS3's port of BioShock, developer 2K Marin finally saw fit yesterday to explain what the new setting is all about.
