Going back to Rapture with a bigger pair of boots.
by Charles Onyett

April 23, 2009 - This fall 2K Marin will give Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC users the opportunity to return to the water-logged city of Rapture in BioShock 2, the sequel to 2K Boston's original. While it's set in the same place, it'll be 10 years later, and you won't be playing as the same protagonist. You'll be exploring new areas, slaughtering more genetically-enhanced splicers, and interacting with Little Sisters as an actual Big Daddy, a concept anyone who played through the original will be familiar with. You won't be playing as just any Big Daddy, either, but as a special breed; a prototype of sorts that's broken out of its role in Rapture's bizarre social order.

Now that the developer is returning to the Company of Heroes franchise, it shouldn't come as a surprise that once more Relic is looking to shake things up. Tales of Valor is the second Company of Heroes expansion, playable as a stand-alone game. And like Dawn of War II, it moves the game in a very different direction.
