Video Thirst: Bioshock 2 Capture the Sister mode

In Bioshock 2, the multiplayer will pit you against other players battling to take a little sister from a Big Daddy in Rapture.

Once you've accomplished the extremely challenging task of nabbing the little sister, she'll do her best to get away from you, all while other players try and take her for themselves.

Nice.

Halo Reach confirmed as a Prequel

Many have been in the dark concerning Halo Reach. Speculation has been rampant as to what exactly Bungie is cooking up this time, well wonder no more, Halo Reach has been confirmed as a Prequel.

The game will be set before the events of the original Halo, when the alien empire of the covenant launched an attack on the United Nations Space Command fortress world of Reach.

Creative Director for Microsoft Halo label Frank O'Connor said: "It's a prequel to Halo 1, a chronological prequel but it is not a prequel in the directions the Star Wars were to the [original] movies. It will [only] cover events in and around the planet Reach," he said.

Bungie is hard at work on Halo Reach, which will be available sometime next fall, and will be exclusive to the Xbox 360.

2009 crowd’s too heavy for Heavy Rain release

The highly anticipated Playstation 3 exclusive Heavy Rain won’t be flooding store shelves this year. In an interview with GI, Quantic Dream’s co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumiere made it clear that around Christmas is not the best time to release an IP, he said:

"Also, purely from my perspective, most publishers today realise that it's not ideal to release a new IP or a new genre just before Christmas. It's a very crowded place to be, and certain games need more space to live their life. Everybody at working on the project, both at Quantic and Sony, believe this is the right time."

Heavy Rain to me is shaping up to be a Genre defining experience and the team at Quantic Dream has shown their dedication in making the game a masterpiece. Here’s for hoping all expectations are met. He also goes on to say they delivered the alpha of the game on April 15 - on time and on budget so they’re a pretty happy bunch.

Heavy Rain is set to release exclusively for the PS3 and we here at Gamesthirst.com will surely keep you updated with the latest breaking news concerning the new IP, (that’s what we do here my friends).
