Xbox LIVE 'Deal of the Week' for 11/15 - 11/21

This week's Xbox LIVE 'Deal of the Week' is an army of one, an army of one little lady wearing a bowtie who has a tendency to explode throughout her body, not just her pants. That's right folks, the deal is for Ms. 'Splosion Man at half price—a not too shabby game hindered by way too much talking; at least, that's how I came away from the game. If you're waiting to hear what else is part of the deal this week, you're going to be waiting a long time—a.k.a., a week's time. There is also a 2K Games sale consisting of some nice DLC for Mafia II, Borderlands, and BioShock 2, as well as a shitload of Avatar items that I will not even attempt to list for fear of losing my mind; however, I will note all 2K Games products on sale seem to be half off.

BioShock 2: Sinclair Solutions DLC

BioShock 2has only been out for two weeks and yesterday, 2K Games announced that there will be new DLC available in March. For those of us who loved our return to Rapture, this is exciting news. The new DLC is called “Sinclair Solutions Test Pack” and it will focus on multi-player. For many people, including myself, the multi-player addition was an intriguing feature of BioShock 2. Would it be good? Was it just slapped on? It ended up being a welcome surprise and the online element was done well and fun to play. Whether it's the thrill of becoming the only Big Daddy or the creepiness of making a Little Sister squeal, the multi-player was well done.

BioShock 2: A Rapturous Conference Call

I originally contacted 2K Games to see about getting someone to interview for Distributed Failure and I was surprised when I was invited to be a part of a developer's conference call the next day covering their newest game, BioShock 2. I was asked to send three to five questions in advance, which a mediator would then ask the team; and if there was extra time, there would be an open Q&A for questions not answered. It was a very rewarding experience and I’ll try my best to summarize all the newfound information.
