Bioshock 2 – First Impressions of Rapture
Well, it’s February 9th and 2k Marin’s sequel to the 2007 Game of the Year, Bioshock, has been released. How has Rapture fared during the decade between titles? What’s all this about multiplayer? How have the mechanics changed? Will I ever look at the box art the same ever again? Well, having picked up the game at midnight and spent several hours with it, I’ll be happy to answer most of these questions…after the jump.

Five Dollar Review – Chime
The realm of musical puzzle games is inhabited by few games intrepid enough to meld quick wits and adaptive audio. Last week, another title graced this hallowed land with its presence on the XBox Live Arcade. Chime, developed by Zoe Mode and published by the non-profit publisher OneBigGame, is now available for the paltry sum of 400 MS points.
Find out more after the jump.

Geekcast 6 – Men, Movies, and More
A new month and a new Geekcast.
This week we cover some of the finer things as we wait for the next wave of great games. We discuss many different movies this week from comic spin-off movies to zombie post-apocalyptic movies. We also talk about some of the news that was dropped over the week, such as a circular Monopoly.
You can give it a listen after the jump or download from iTunes.
New Cop Out Red Band Trailer
Based on the first trailer released for Cop Out, I was kind of scared. It looked like Kevin Smith might have lost it. However, if you’ve seen any Smith movie, you know that censorship is a cruel mistress to his style.
The new red band trailer (meaning NSFW) winds up a little better. Doesn’t look like it’ll be one of his best films, but it could easily be a hilarious matinee or rental. Besides, Bruce Willis doing dick jokes can’t be all that bad.
Catch the video after the jump.

DLC Mini-review – Return to Ostagar
After several false starts, the newest DLC for Bioware’s Dragon Age has finally been released on XBox 360 and PC with no word on PS3 yet. Thanks to some poor planning on Bioware’s behalf, the content dropped on January 29th, a mere 3 days after Mass Effect 2. Thanks to these overlapping releases, I’m willing to bet that I wasn’t the only Dragon Age fan that was blissfully unaware of the new content. I’ll let you know if it’s worth the five dollar price tag… after the jump.

It’s Been One Week : Bayonetta
As we’ve already discussed on the weekly podcast, I’ve been playing a fair amount of Bayonetta. It’s been one week now since I received the title through Gamefly, and my excitement has not yet waned. Granted, my Bayonetta time has been heavily perforated by Mass Effect 2 time, but at least 8 hours have been logged in the former. With that, I feel comfortable to share with you my opinions of the game thus far…

You can listen to it all after the jump or download it off iTunes.
Dungeons & Dragons Still Banned in Prison
Early this week, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit rejected the claims in a lawsuit that challenged a ban on Dungeons and Dragons by the Waupun Correctional Institution in Wisconsin.
The law suit was brought by prisoner Kevin T. Singer, arguing that the First and 14th amendment were violated by the prison’s decision to ban DnD. With the decision also came the confiscation of his books, a 96-page manuscript he wrote, and additional materials.

Welcome to Greed Corp
The strategy genre has always wrestled with complexity versus accessibility. W! Games seeks to craft a more user-friendly strategy game with their upcoming title Greed Corp for PSN and XBox Live Arcade.
“The mechanics should be transparent, the winning strategy should not,” say the devs. According to their blog, the developers seek to keep a high level of strategic depth while giving the player fewer actions to memorize.
Greed Corp will be the first in a series of titles existing within the rich, industrial world of Mistbound. Today marks the creation of the Mistbound Community Site, where one may sign up for a chance to receive the game for free upon its release. Also released to the public on this date is a rather stunning intro trailer into this bold frontier of Mistbound, which may be witnessed after the jump.
