You play as a Big Daddy named Subject Sigma, summoned to Minerva’s Den to track down and eliminate The Thinker’s co-creator Reed Wahl, who has, obviously, gone mad, a particularly terrifying proposition given how vital The Thinker is to Rapture’s sustainability. Under the direction of the computer’s other creator, Charles Milton Porter, you must navigate through Rapture Central Computing, battle your way through plenty of beefed up splicers and brutes, and face off against a new Big Daddy called the Lancer (oh, and, of course, the screechy menaces that are the Big Sisters) along the way.

The sporadic, almost contradictory reports that we seem to get regarding the beleaguered film adaptation of The Hobbit seems to be shifting its focus to casting. After the recent rumor about ancillary character Radagast The Brown, it seems that the folks over at New Line and MGM may have their sights set on main character Bilbo Baggins. With his name having been in the dream-casting mix for about half a decade, the UK's Martin Freeman has found himself in the latest rumor spotlight.

"I have been playing hockey games for years, and have yet to find anything as viscerally satisfying as playing Blades of Steel on the original NES...until now.
