“Better late than never” is fast becoming our slogan here at Riddlethos.com, but we know you still love us. I mean, what’s NOT to love about a brand-new Hey! Look! Listen!? That’s right, nothing. Now let’s get to it, because I have to leave for work soon.
Scary scary...
The Witcher 2 “Internal Video” Leaked
“Leaked.” Right. Seriously, the big, bold “INTERNAL USE ONLY” is just a BIT much, wouldn’t you say? In any case, this is proof that another Witcher game is, in fact, in the works. I was denied the pleasure of playing the original Witcher because my PC doesn’t have the juice, and CD Projekt wasn’t nice enough to finish the PS3/360 port of the game. But I suppose life is just tough like that. Check out the trailer on YouTube
Valkyria Chronicles 2 Coming to North America
Now THIS makes me happy. As you all know, I adored the original Valkyria Chronicles. And while I was slightly disappointed at the fact that the sequel was being made into a PSP game, I recognize that I should just be happy to see the series continue at all. Valkyria Chronicles 2 is set two years after the original game, and focuses on a civil war currently tearing through Gallia. Check out the short announcement trailer here. (1UP).
Do want... or do I...?
BioShock 2 Street Dated
Well folks, sounds like we might have an honest-to-God release date for BioShock 2 on our hands here. Take-Two announced this morning that the game will hit stores on February 9, 2010. The game was originally pushed back in order to “perform better in the marketplace” – meaning, presumably, that Take-Two didn’t feel confident enough to allow BioShock 2 to compete with other big-name releases such as Modern Warfare 2. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t take that as a positive sign. I’m still excited for BioShock 2, but I’ve got a whole bucket of reservations to accompany that excitement. I can only hope to be proven wrong.
That’s all I’ve got for today, folks! Look for more in this weekend’s News Roundup, which I promise will be more substantive that last week’s trainwreck!
Oh, wait… actually… I don’t promise anything. So. We’ll just see what happens.

I can’t help but feeling that the number of teams working on Bioshock 2 will share an inverse relationship with the games eventual quality. Still a day one purchase though …
Yeah, I’m enormously skeptical. It’s a maybe/eventually purchase if the reviews are great and my friends like it.
The way I look at it is that Rapture was only meant to be the setting for ONE game, Bioshock 2 will feel like reheated leftovers and doesn’t even have Ken Levine at the helm (as he’s probably off making Bioshock’s true successor!).
Yeah, Bioshock’s one of those games I just didn’t feel needed a sequel. Granted, the ending was kind of a let-down after all the care put into the rest of the game, but so much of the quality of the game came from discovering Rapture and seeing this environment for the first time. The sequel just seems blatantly unnecessary. Oh well, maybe it’ll be good, who knows.
