Bioshock 2 Launch Trailer Surfaces

Bioshock 2, Dante’s Inferno, and Heavy Rain will have gamers busy this month. And in case you’re not drooling nearly enough, here’s a snazzy three-minute or so long trailer for the Bioshock sequel. Anybody else whimper like an Adam-free child when Big Sister storms onto the screen? Eep.

Who needs flowers and chocolate? Say, “I love you,” to your honey with Rapture’s violent bedlam. Okay, too much.

In North America the Bioshock 2 (2007 Game of the Year sequel) launch trailer recently washed up on Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night television show. Cruising ten years ahead, players don the Big Daddy suit and search the treacherous fallen utopia for Big Sister, a dangerous menace abducting girls from Atlantic shores. First-person shooter combat and multi-player mayhem culminate in an all new underwater mission developed by 2K Marin and 2K Australia, Digital Extremes, and 2K China.

GameStop Dives Deep with Bioshock 2 Pre-Order

Grab your rubbie duckies and ready that snorkel gear, because BioShock 2 crashes onto shelves on February 9. Hardcore fans should direct their attention to GameStop’s special pre-order bonuses dripping with sweet undersea delight.

The store’s pre-order package reels in a code for the unlockable actress Blanche and fisherman Zigo multi-player mode characters. Plus, the Bioshock 2 Limited Edition includes a 180-gram vinyl LP with the original Bioshock‘s orchestral score if you happen to have a turntable handy, an audio CD of the sequel’s score, three vintage Rapture posters, and a hardcover featuring art from the new game. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, but you can investigate the details for yourself here. Me? I’m crossing my fingers that GameFly won’t skimp out on me next month until I have the extra cash (pleeease!). I’m tempted to pre-order, though. So very, very tempted.

Do you plan to drop $100 on the Limited Edition or $60 on the regular pre-order bonus? Bioshock 2 will make a boat-rocking splash either way with Captain Big Daddy on deck.
