The original "BioShock" offered up a pretty excellent special edition, if only because of the incredibly well-made, desk-worthy Big Daddy statue. Now it looks like "BioShock 2" is following in his large, clunky footsteps with an equally compelling special edition.
For $100 bucks ($40 more than the normal edition, if you're bad at math), you'll get the following:
-Vintage posters from Rapture (not sure on the size, but based on the shot above, these appear to be suitable for framing.
-A vinyl 180g LP with the original soundtrack of "BioShock." Vinyls are like MP3s, only they're big, black, round and sound better, apparently.
-A CD with the score from "BioShock 2."
-A 164 page art book featuring commentary from the developers.
-The game. Yay.
Up until now I feel like the wrong parts of "BioShock" have been highlighted with the sequel. The first game was quiet and thought provoking, whereas the trailers for "BioShock 2" have been more about huge guns and explosions. I'm hoping this special edition is a clear indication that the game will stay true to the original's quieter, more subtle tone.
