Bioshock 2!!!! (Xbox 360)

Besides Mass Effect 2 and Final Fantasy 13, Bioshock 2 was the third game that I was most looking forward to this year. I’ve said before that Bioshock the first was my favourite game on the Xbox 360 and it pretty much still stands today. So I was quite excited for the sequel. The game takes place years after the first within the same world; the dystopian underwater city of Rapture. However, you explore new and different parts of the city.

But those were the days before I owned an Xbox. 2 years later and things turned out differently. I credit my dad actually for triggering my interest.
