Up until now, the city of Rapture’s motto read: “No Gods or Kings (Or Mac Users). Only Man.” But 2K Games has recently lifted the ban on hip, culture-savvy aesthetes who also dig first-person shooters:
Finally, two years after the original release of BioShock, Mac owners get a chance to see what all of the fuss [...]
Some of my favorite sci-fi films seamlessly combine the new and futuristic with the historical, antique and classic. Serenity is definitely an example of this, with space-ships throwing out blasts of black smoke and smugglers hauling herds of cattle across the stars. 2K Games’ Borderlands has the the same feel, and in such a world, [...]
As far as digital distributors go, Direct2Drive is one of the oldest and best known. In a business that aims to put gamers first, Direct2Drive has offered up some pretty sweet deals over the years. But nothing beats it’s five-year anniversary special: a five-week-long blowout featuring 50 quality titles for the price of $5 each.

This isn’t always the case, though–sometimes, story and gameplay unite to create a truly memorable experience. One of [...]
I don’t have to tell you that Bioshock is amazing, but just in case: Bioshock is pretty amazing. If you haven’t played it yet, you’re missing out on one of the creepiest, most atmospheric shooters of all time. Gritty and morally challenging, it’s a worthy successor to the beloved System Shock series. Bioshock’s upcoming sequel, [...]
PC gamers, take note: Steam is offering a MASSIVE discount on several titles from 2K Games, including Bioshock (which is INCREDIBLE), Freedom Force, and Civilization IV. The pack is dubbed 2K Huge, which I am inclined to agree with. If you needed a new set of games to play, you’d be hard-pressed to [...]
