BioShock 2 Released
BioShock 2 launched today for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows, ending the wait for a sequel to the original 2007 blockbuster. The events in BioShock 2 take place 10 years after the story from the original game. This time around, players control a prototype Big Daddy in an attempt to overthrow the new leader of Rapture. Early reviews for the game are quite strong, though the developers were prepared for fan backlash over some of the changes they made. The Guardian's Nicky Woolf praises the new storyline, and adds that "there is a fundamentally excellent shooter here too, with some of the best combat dynamics in the business." Rock, Paper, Shotgun's Alec Meer also had good things to say about the combat: "I can't stress this enough – as a game about shooting people, it's very responsive and very rewarding." However, Meer expressed disappointment that some of the impressive new concept art didn't get used and that the story and environment couldn't match the novelty of the original game. "Part of Rapture's great wonder was that it was just believable enough, if you squinted your brain a bit (or a lot), but this lathers on so much wild sci-fi that it's much harder to connect to it. The Sisters are elevated from horrifying genetic/psychological experiment into all-powerful messiah figures capable of pulling any old deus ex machina out of the hat. Making them into so much reduces the power and the sadness of what they are. As a result, the concept feels too exhausted to ever be used again."

George Bush was in office at the time and if I believed half the stories about him that I heard wouldn't he still be there? Let alone Cheney.

Just download it :)
It's flamebait if OP is using passive-aggressive way of saying that he's going to download instead of buy a copy.
Either way, I'm getting really sick of chest-beating posts either condemning or condoning piracy of video games. Mod them all down redundant as far as I'm concerned.

Who cares?
No, you certainly took extra care to mention how they 'lost your business' and how it had 'draconian' DRM. Here's a non-fucking-faggot version of your post: "What kind of DRM does the PC version have, if any?"
