We also discuss what harvesting and rescuing really means, the moral ramifications of including a child in a video game that you can potentially harm, and even if Irrational changed the Little Sister, and your interactions with her, due to public (or publisher) pressure. http://downloads.2kgames.com/bioshock/Little_Sister_Ep_6.mp3 Fri, 1 June 2007 00:00:00 PST 19:37 BioShock, shooter, FPS, 2K, Game, 2K Marin, 2K Games, Rapture, BioShock 2 2K Games A BioShock Podcast Ken is back with Eric and me to talk about the evolution of BioShock over the years, from when it was but a gleam in his eye.

She's spent several weeks up in Boston, logging hundreds of hours playing BioShock in its various stages of development, and could be called the resident guru of the game. At times, I think she'd be more comfortable if her hands were glowing blue from plasmids, rather than their normal, pinkish hue. She gives us a close up and personal view on what it BioShock to her, and some of the awesome ways you can utilize the different weapons and environments in the world of Rapture. http://downloads.2kgames.com/bioshock2/What_Is_BioShock_Ep_1.mp3 Mon, 22 January 2007 00:00:00 PST 12:25 BioShock, shooter, FPS, 2K, Game, 2K Marin, 2K Games, Rapture, BioShock 2
