It’s happened before (*cough* Resident Evil 5) and will likely happen many many times to come, but nobody likes paying twice for what they’ve already paid for.

Rumour, coupled with an incredibly small download for something that ‘includes’ 20 new multiplayer trials and 2 new playable characters, states that the content that costs 400 Microsoft Funny Moneys might have already been included on the disc.

Those dastardly miscreants!  Maybe this ‘DLC’ should be re-branded as ‘AICBWTWBBAI’ (or ‘Already Included Content, But We Thought We’d Be Bastards About It’)!

BioShock 2!

2K have released word, via the means of a press release (available after the cut) which reveals that the underwater sequel will be landing around the globe, simultaneously on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC (via. Games for Windows: Live, so expect token issues there) on February 9th.

GameTrailers have the exclusive first look at BioShock 2′s gameplay.  Yes, you definitely are a Big Daddy, the Big Sister is definitely a foe, you can use Plasmids and you carry both a drill and the rivet gun.

Trailer after the cut…

If you don’t say ‘sweet’ 56 seconds in, you’re missing the point.

Fear not PS3 owners – you won’t be treated like deferred citizens (I hesitate to use the term second class, since you got a bunch of add-ons) this time round, as the return to Rapture will be handled simultaneously on all formats come Q4 2009, although I’m not sure if that’s fiscal or real year.

In addition, a chunk of information was thrown in too the wild recently via a GameInformer print exclusive.

Word is…

• The game is set in Rapture, 10 years after the events of the first game
• The only confirmed returning character

Now, ahead of its release later in the year, the marketing juggernaut has stirred from the proverbial depths (probably from the barnacle-encrusted house it shares with that incredibly capable deep-sea whale from the intro) and regurgitated a viral site for us to monitor with baited breath, eagerly anticipating select morsels of information.
