I understood that Bioshock 2 picked up from the point where you became a Big Daddy in the original Bioshock, but I don't know if that's such a good point to pick up from or not. My brother suggests its story-line is rather separated from Bioshock 1 in how whoever Bioshock 2's antagonist is was never really mentioned in BS1 and that you explore much more generic places than where BS1 had you see, but the tonics/plasmids still advances from the original too.


The B1 and B2 protagonists are different people.

If you liked Bioshock, you should like Bioshock 2. Yes, up until near the end it's definitely not as good, and unlike the first one you can't backtrack, but it stands up well on it's own, and I contend that the final section of Bioshock 2 is better than any part of Bioshock. Yes, including Fort Frolic. The Minerva's Den DLC is also really good.

I ran my own test. From turning on the console to being able to first access the dashboard was 47 seconds. However, from turning on the console to being able to access the entries in my quickplay was 1:55. I'm a little surprised it was so quick - my system has been seemingly running slower since the latest dashboard upgrade.

It's in the Globe which is basically our equivalent to... The New York Post? Or whatever your biggest "serious business" newspaper is down there. I honestly think it has to be a joke.

Did you read the entire article? It's definitely not serious.

Toronto has been eliminated from postseason contention for the 7th straight year. I'll be honest, if you asked me at the start of the season which Ontario team was more likely to make the playoffs, I'd have gone with the Leafs. I think I may actually be starting to feel sorry for them... but then I remember it's Toronto and go on with my life.

I wouldn't put it in the top 5.

In no particular order:
-Fantasia
-The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
-Ducktales and the Treasure of the Lost Lamp
-Aladdin
-The Little Mermaid

...then I might consider The Lion King.

Please tell me its a ****ty fanmade project and not some RESHELLED remake that'll piss fans off

No, it's real. It's called Double Dragon II: Wander of the Dragons, is based more on the arcade title than the NES awesomeness, is supposed to come out this month for 1200 MSP, and was developed by the same company that made Ragnarok Online.

I even have doubts as to how many non-vg characters even make it in! A few Stars Wars, marvel, and disney characters. And then what? I wonder if they'd even make up half the field, probably just booting out the weak characters anyways.

They'd be new and novel, though - I could see as much as half of the bracket being non-vg characters, though I think it would be more likely a quarter.

How in the world do you people remember what was released in what year in the entire decade?

Can't speak for anyone else, but I have a first draft of a top games list I started and need to get around to finishing up and posting. I just went by which year had the most games listed. Quite a few other years were pretty close, though. I would have no problem saying that a different year was better overall.
