Now, Jane is making the news solo with a new ARG [CNN: Urgent Evoke] intended to encourage people to take an active role in improving the real world by taking part in [...]
Bioshock 2 – Alternate endings
My first play through resulted in the first ending. I killed one of the people mid-way through because he was pretty evil and given the choice, I felt the world would be better without him. Apparently the little Daughter learns from this that she should kill her mom (having judged her mother to [...]
