The mere fact that BioShock 2‘s multiplayer is decent and feels somewhat justified makes it a huge success in my book. I was skeptical up until the minute I started playing. I strolled around my apartment, learned why I was expected to kill people, and jumped in my bathysphere.
An interactive intro to multiplayer? What a novel idea. It wasn’t until I started taking pictures of dead people to gain attack bonuses and turned into a Big Daddy before I realized how potentially fun this thing could be. They have just enough unique content to balance the widespread use of standard concepts.
Take note, all you BioShock 2 owners: the multiplayer is worth seeing, if only for the characters and backstory.
New to FNF? Read this: Each week, a bunch of Destructoid readers and usually an editor or two get together to play some videogames online. Basically, this is what Friday Night Fights are all about.
The planning for FNF takes place in the forums, where community members volunteer to host by posting their information (gamertag, time to meet up, game, etc.) in the forum post corresponding to the system they’re interested in playing on.
Then, every Friday, reminder posts for those who don’t read the forums regularly go up in the community blogs section all thanks to a dedicated group of cool individuals. And for everyone who wants their info all in one place, they have got my weekly recap posts to look forward to between 4:30 – 5:30 PM EST.
Now that you’re here, just scan the list below and find a game you want to play. All that’s left to do after that is to join the match by contacting the host below using any means necessary. For Wii, you might have to be a little creative, but for 360/PS3 a simple “invite me” message will be fine.
The names on the left are our Destructoid handles, while the ones on the right are our online handles (PSN IDs, for example). Don’t see a game you want to play? Feel free to post a comment offering to take up hosting duties yourself.
