Showcase: Bunnelle's Atari Catridges

The impetus behind these Atari cartridge demakes of contemporary games seems to be to create an icon set for RocketDock or ObjectDock. Personally, I use ObjectDock as a launcher, so I may well end up using some of these. At any rate, very nice work. Check out the link below for the full set.

"Not All Is As It Seems" by Hatm0nster

Last weekend I finally finished Bioshock 2. While I always enjoy my visits to Rapture, I definitely felt that it didn't quite live up to the mind-blowing experience of the first Bioshock; the novelty of playing a Big Daddy sustained me for quite a while, but by around the 2/3rd mark, I was looking at the current and upcoming level maps and starting to feel like it was a bit of a drag. For the most part, Bioshock 2 should have been half as long and released as a DLC pack.

Having said that, I'm unduly excited about Bioshock Infinite. I'm not entirely sure how it will relate to the whole established Andrew Ryan\Rapture\plasmid narrative of the first two Bioshock games, but the extreme change in setting and the brilliant enemy designs, not to mention the fact that the game will apparently do for the philosophy of American exceptionalism what the first two did for Randian objectivism, have me eagerly awaiting its release on February 26th, 2013.

"Street Fighter Bioshock" by Bose³

¹ This is just a stunning piece of work, and really encapsulates the claustrophobic loneliness of Bioshock.
² Cthulhu showing up as the end boss in Bioshock is the only thing that could've made that game better for me. Just sayin'.
³ I thought I had posted this Bioshock fighting game demake ages ago, but it turns out I didn't. That Big Daddy is going to wipe the floor with that Splicer. Mark my words.
