I remember back in October 2008 when we first discovered the Sea of Dreams trailer on the PS3 version of BioShock. Even scared, I was a bit hopeful that the sequel to one of my favorite games of all time could possibly be something I might enjoy playing. Of course, since then we've heard word of everything from co-op to Russians, and my hopes for the title to be remotely decent have ventured into the dirt.
IGN reports that 2K has officially announced a name change for the sequel, dropping the Sea of Dreams tagline and just going with BioShock 2. Interesting. I know the name doesn't really matter, but I kind of liked the tagline. I've given up on freaking out over murky details that may or may not be true about the game, so I'll leave the speculation to you guys -- does a slight name change mean anything to you?

It's a pretty huge article though, and I don't think there's ever been a gaming April Fools joke anywhere that was this complex.
Not if you called 'em stench blossoms
How about...
Bioshock 2: The Shockening
Beverly hills shock 2
Bonershock
Bioshock: Fist blood part II
What was great about the title BIOSHOCK was its stark, evocative simplicity (plus the reference to the SYSTEM SHOCK series!). Any subtitle would detract from that, especially one as lame as "Sea of Dreams."
Wasn't System Shock 2 generally believed to be better than the first?
So lame.
