While many gamers are still flocking to their local retailers to get down on the latest titles, digital distribution outlets are becoming quite popular. On the PC, the most popular digital distribution service is none other than Valve’s Steam. The beauty of services like this is that it’s so easy for developers to cut us gamers a deal on some of their hottest titles. In fact, it seems that just about every week Valve is temporarily dropping the price tag of some of the hottest games. This week seems to be no different.

The reason I say this is because it was just made known that for a limited time both BioShock and BioShock 2 are priced at just $4.99 a piece. Unfortunately it seems that the deal is today only so if you’re considering doing it, I’d suggest doing it now. I mean, it’s only $10 for both of them, right?

2K Games has revealed that they have no plans of bringing any of the BioShock 2 DLC on the PC, which might disappoint some PC gamers. The two DLCs released on consoles so far, “Protector Trials” and “Minerva’s Den”, have been expected to find their way on the PC, but now 2K revealed that those plans have been scrapped, citing technical issues. It’s not that big of a deal, since neither of the DLC is a must have and offers something beyond the usual experience.

2K games has released the latest BioShock 2 DLC, called “Minerva’s Den”, which includes three new levels in the main campaign, however, players do not need to complete the main campaign in order to play the levels, as the run parallel to the main campaign. The DLC costs $10 on Xbox 360 and PS3.

The “Metro Pack” multiplayer DLC which was released on consoles last month will find its way tot he PCs tomorrow, 2K Games announced. The DLC includes six new multiplayer maps and will retail for $10.

2K Games has confirmed that a multiplayer patch for BioShock 2 is on the way for all platforms, Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, and will fix a number of issues and bugs, including the connectivity issues which have plagued the game since launch. The patch is in the final stage of testing and should be submitted for certification at Microsoft and Sony shortly. Expect it in a week or two.

Various news sources had previously told us that the Rapture Metro Pack for BioShock 2 would be dropping sometime this week. Well, 2K Games has come in to clear things up a bit and has said that the DLC pack will not be droppin this week.

However, they have let us know that there will be 6 new multiplayer maps, 3 new Achievements/Trophies and a rebirth feature that is very similar to Call of Duty’s prestige feature. Reach level 50, rebirth and rank down to level one but you’re rewarded with a special mask. Pretty neat.

2K failed to give us a new release date but they have said that when it does drop it will be for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99.

It seems like rumors are flying every which way about an MMO being developed for pretty much every video game franchise out there. But really? Halo? Come on. BioShock, on the other hand, would make a bit more sense as an MMO which is why it’s a relief that rumors have arose stating that a massively multiplayer online game is in the works based on it.

There has been virtually no official word on whether or not these rumors are true so we’ll just have to wait and see.

Are you looking to pick up BioShock 2 but are a bit iffy because you haven’t run through the first game? No worries, Amazon has a deal for you — If you act fast, you’ll be able to get both BioShock 1 and 2 for just $48.99.

There’s no telling how long Amazon will be holding this promotion so, like I said above, you better act fast.

It seems like BioShock 2 only just came out and already its first expansion pack is being announced. Entitled Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack, this DLC pack will be the first of many for BioShock 2 and will hit for the PC, Xbox 360 and PSN on March 11th for 5 bucks or 400 Microsoft Points.

This pack will include a rank cap to 50, 2 new playable characters, 20 new trials, a third weapon upgrade for each of the game’s weapons and 5 additional masks.

Again, this is only the first of many so expect more announcements in the near future.

While BioShock 2 hasn’t received the same critical acclaim that the first title did, it has still received some pretty damn good reviews. And reviewers apparently aren’t the only ones who like the game as it was just announced that BioShock 2 has sold 3 million copies across the Xbox 360 PC and PS3.

That’s not all though, Take-Two also took the time to let us know that Grand Theft Auto IV has sold 15 million copies worldwide since its release.

Some pretty big numbers here now I just wonder how much their sequels will sell.
