I don't care much for video games -- well, not when I'm playing them inside another video game.

It's classic Shenmue syndrome. If you have the time and impulse to pet a cat, ...
Three ex-BioShock devs form The Fullbright Company
Three of the developers behind recent BioShock games have started their own studio, called The Fullbright Company, with the simple goal to "make a great game." The Fullbright Company is Steve Gaynor, Johnnemann Nordhagen and Karla Zimonja. As Gaynor describes it, perhaps their goal isn't so ...

BioShock 2 brings dystopia to OS X in January 2012
It's been nearly two years since BioShock 2 first came out on consoles and PC -- but, oddly enough, the game's still not finished being released. Next month, the game finally gets ported to Mac OS X and, like the first BioShock, the work is being done by Mac dev Feral Interactive, who will also ...

BioShock 2, Mafia 2 marked down for Amazon Deal of the Day
