Big Sisters Come Out To Play in BioShock 2

2K's lips have been pinned shut about details behind their big sequel, BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams, which is why Game Informer's April cover featuring a hulking lean Big Sister has everyone all giddy.

The April issue of Game Informer features a cover story on BioShock 2. The magazine's site has now posted the cover image, giving us a first look at the new "Big Sister" character teased by the game's official site, along with the confirmation that players will be returning to the first BioShock's setting: the underwater city of Rapture.

The Big Sister looks to be as iconic as her predecessor, the Big Daddy, sporting interesting details including bows tied to her Little Sister "carrying cage" and what appears to be either an arm-mounted rifle or potentially -- not to mention more fittingly -- a large ADAM syringe.

Caution: Rumors Ahead

This just in, VGEutopia is reporting that we're in for more Xbox360 sku changes soon. According to it's "sources" the Pro and Arcade models will be getting upgrades and the Elite will be used STRICTLY for Limited Edition situations, like the red bundle being released on March 13th. Here are the two rumors being tossed around from their sources:

1. The Arcade Model will stay the same except getting more internal memory from 256MB to 512MB and getting the chrome disk drive instead of the matte. The pricing will stay the same for now. The Pro Model will also receive an upgraded hard drive from 60GB to 80GB and the pricing will stay the same for now.

2. With the Arcade Model a 20GB hard drive will be included as well as the 256MB of internal memory. This will allow for easier swapping and backup options. Included game will change and prices will stay the same. The Pro Model will include a 80 or 120GB hard drive upgrade with an additional 256MB of internal memory for the same reasons as the Arcade model. Included games will change and a HDMI cable will be included. The price may drop from $299.99 to $279.99.

Future limited edition models will include a themed console with matching controller, 180GB or 200GB hard drive, whatever included game and a price of $379.99 to $399.99. The disk drive color will also receive a "situational" change. All Elite accessories will still be included as well as a possible wireless headset upgrade.

If these rumors are true, it only solidifies the reason why Sony HAS to release a price drop soon or they will inevitably go the way of the Betamax, floppy disks, and mix tapes.

Video of the Day

Okay, so I might be a little late to catch the bandwagon on this video, but better late than never I always say. It's a love song by a guy named Sam Hart who manages to use a ton of references from Mario Kart. It's very heavy on the emo and love lyrics, but through the use of some clever lines, it brings you right back to those fond days of playing Mario Kart with your friends and the many dreams of finding your own Princess Peach. If you can manage to get past the fact that he's the wearing yarn for a mustache then you'll definitely become an instant fan of this video too.
