The news is all about E3 and we here at CB Games have been covering it like crazy. Okay, we actually haven’t. But we’re still on-top of everything that’s happening in the E3 spotlight. For now you can check out 2K’s sizzling line-up of sequels, original titles and established franchises that will be making an appearance at this year’s E3 summit.
If you’re going, and have access, 2K will be setting up shop at several key locations, including Hotel Casa Del Mar, in the Crimson Room and Board Room, and at the Barker Hangar.
If I had to choose a favorite of 2K’s stock-pile for E3, though, it would have to be BioShock. The Darkness isn’t bad, but BioShock represents a much larger playing scope for the player. It’s games like that which bring in new crowds and expand on ideas that other developers should be taking into consideration. Using the environment and other bad guys to fight for you is pretty sweet. Especially considering that the concept of approaching a room in multiple ways (i.e., gung-ho, stealthy, or coercing enemies to work for you) elevates the replayability instantaneously.
But without further ado, you can check out 2K’s line-up below (yeah, I was a little disappointed too), but for further info and media be sure to visit the website(s) of 2K Games or 2K Sports.
2K Games & 2K Sports E3 2007 Video Game Line-Up:
BioShock : August 21, 2007
BioShock is the "genetically enhanced" first person shooter that lets players do things never before possible in the genre – turn everything into a weapon, biologically modify your body with plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade weapons and craft new ammo variants, and experiment with different battle techniques.
Gamers enter the game as a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically modified “splicers” and deadly security systems, players have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. No encounter ever plays out the same and no two gamers will play BioShock the same way.
BioShock will also be featured at Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Games for Windows booths at the Loews Hotel.
