The amazing statue sculptors at NECA have new BioShock figures in the making. The coolest here at Toy Fair 2012 are the ones from BioShock Infinite. The new BioShock game is a long way away, so these won’t be out, a NECA rep said, until Sept. 2012 or so. The game isn’t slated for release until 2012 either. Waiting ain’t easy.
This is part of the BioShock 2 line.

Perhaps the underwater utopia was already booked when Anna and Jon decided to get married in the backyard of his aunt’s (really nice) place in Toronto. Nevertheless, the couple tied the knot last May with plenty of inspiration taken from their “favorite video game,” BioShock, in a totally geeky hip wedding.
The cupcakes served at the celebration featured edible blue morpho butterflies, “a reference to the game,” Anna confirmed in a recent account of the wedding on Offbeat Bride. “Topping the tower of cupcakes were two figurines from the game” (pictured).
The ceremony programs, designed by Jon, also featured nods to the [...]
PS3 owners got, for lack of a better term, the royal shaft when it came to getting their platform’s version of BioShock.

How cool were the water effects in the original BioShock? You probably thought they were stock Unreal Engine 2.5 assets, right? Well, get this. Irrational Games actually developed the water graphics in house! The reason for this is simple. They had to get the water effects correct because it was so critical in selling the underwater city of Rapture. At the end of the day they did a good job. The artists at Irrational Games were successful in making BioShock look UE3 as opposed to UE2.5.
The best part is that irrational has promised a lot in the future as well. [...]
Looks like someone at 2K Games had a little leftover resurrection potion from whatever they used on Duke Nukem Forever because the formerly dead downloadable content for BioShock 2 on PC is alive. It’s coming. Viva PC Gaming Week!
Over on the 2K forums, 2K Elizabeth spreads the news that BioShock 2′s PC patch as well as the Protector Trials and Minvera’s Den downloadable expansions — both of which are out for the console versions of the game — are back in development.
