2K Marin has finally revealed the launch date for BioShock 2's final DLC offering, Minerva's Den. On August 31, the DLC will launch on PSN and Xbox Live simultaneously for $9.99 and 800 MS Points, respectively. Games For Windows Live users will have to wait until "a later date" for the DLC.
Minerva's Den adds three new areas to explore in the titular level and runs parallel to the main story, meaning players need not complete the BioShock 2 campaign before struggling with whether they'll decide to harvest or adopt the six new Little Sisters peppered throughout. 2K Marin also revealed that, as an added incentive to those who picked up Protector Trials, players will be given access to the Master Protector tonic in Minerva's Den, which simultaneously increases the harvest times for any Little Sister you're chaperoning and the ADAM they collect. This tonic can be accessed via any Gatherer's Garden.
Be sure to read our preview of Minerva's Den, which includes impressions of a new weapon, an all-new Plasmid and the new Big Daddy type, the Lancer.

Meh. This game bored me to no end. The story was a bit meh, good gameplay though. And the multiplayer? It was fun for around 2 days.
Not getting any DLC for this.
Bioshock 1 was infinite (=P) times better then the "sequel".

@motopsycho I enjoyed this game a bit more than Bioshock 1, personally. Sure, the storyline wasn't quite as good, but the gameplay had been tightened and improved in so many ways. Hacking, for instance, was a chore in the first game but a joy in the second.
Never bothered much with the multiplayer. I don't really enjoy competitive multiplayer online, much prefer co-op.

@s0mmie Oh on the gameplay I have no coplains, they did improve alot there. But idk, it just didn't really enjoyed it as much as the first one.
And good, don't bother with the MP, unless you can play with friends. And even like that we got bored waaaayyy to fast.
