Though BioShock 2 was just as revealing as the original BioShock, what they thought of the sequel to less Ken Levine, the reason for its existence was consolidated with the release of Minerva Den.

Den of Minerva is a small fairy tale, a segment of the life of the twisted and wet world of Rapture. Even if you don't like BioShock 2, it is worth picking up a cheap copy and download Minerva Den.

I am doing out on Den of Minerva because 2 K Games finally did well to get the downloadable content for the PC. It was not going to happen, but demand fan convinced the company to change its mind. Thumbs up. Minerva Den finally arrives on May 31 for $10 through games for Windows Live.

If you are not sure, I have something that could help. After Den of Minerva in December, I was forced me to write about it in my blog now inactive, Push The Button. The post was titled "the tragedy of Charles Milton Porter" and tried to convey why worked Den of Minerva: playing with the heart.

Therefore, here we go.

BioShock 2 was not a bad game, but for long periods of play: the environment, mainly, was very boring. There were forgettable environments without lasting brand, characters whose presence felt mechanically invented and slightly better combat provided limp by repetitive protection sister missions in pursuit of Adam more. And this comes from someone who enjoyed, BioShock 2, a game whose narrative purpose out adequate profitability. For fans of Rapture, it is worth playing.

It is also worthwhile to buy - only $9.99 at GameStop, as very second, something even better: Den of Minerva. It is little surprise writer and designer of the downloadable content, Steve Gaynor, was picked up by irrational games to work on BioShock: infinity. Minerva Den captures the magic of the original by Ken Levin in a way that not the sequel, channel the iconic familiarity of the world of Rapture to spin a tale that is responsible for more emotionally than anything in BioShock 2. It is a blow to BioShock 2 is a complement to what has been achieved in the Lair of Minerva. It is impossible to fantastic story based on an unreal world and at the end, you bought, which is invested and touched.

It could not help but begin to comparison give Minerva to LOST. A broken paradise, manipulative and frankly magical full of variety of egos congested maneuvers in order for something they could not understand. There is an a chosen, an individual that all others are watching with close - and a knife in his pocket. The comparison is even more paramount in Den of Minerva, which may also reflect an underground association between Andrew Ryan and the DHARMA Corporation. Who knows me that you can understand why Minerva Den would strike a chord.

Thanks for the BioShock turn pasted your comment simultaneously on the nature of the design of the game and how little say players are in the experience. I was surprised because Ryan, Levine - had been playing as a violin throughout. He felt betrayal, anger, and probably a pang of respect, too.

There is a twist to Minerva Den, one as large and shocking as BioShock, but that not relies on the same trick of Hall. Sure, it played a "character" in BioShock, but the story was finally the player himself, altered by their interactions with the Little Sisters. The Little Sisters are present here, but simply as a game mechanic. Minerva Den is the tragic story of a doorman, mathematical genius. When it reveals the true nature of his mission in Den of Minerva, the surprise which meant much more because I couldn't take a step back and sympathize with the events had played a role. The tragedy of Minerva Den is not yours, is of Porter and the thinker.

Something much more subtle is at work, also.

BioShock is a stressful game; Splicers and Big Daddies always appear, often invisible shadows. But when you pass give their emotional reward of Minerva, the interface quietly disappears, a masterful nod to the player who is worth is to move a little slower in the future, extract the sweaty fingers off the triggers and give additional attention to what is in this wall or putting on the table.

I wish that he had played Den Minerva earlier, much earlier. Take-Two should release history and do not require drive BioShock 2. Even players who consider blasphemous BioShock 2 should seek Den of Minerva. If there are no more tales of the murky and traitorous kidnapping, Porter provides needed closure.
