Celebrating 10 Years of BioShock

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the BioShock series, which began with the Xbox 360-exclusive original game in the underwater city of Rapture before moving to Columbia with BioShock Infinite. To celebrate the occasion, 2K Games has created the “BioShock 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition,” which is a must-have for dedicated fans.

Available to order from both the official 2K store as well as GameStop, the 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition comes with BioShock: The Collection for either Xbox One or PlayStation 4. This was originally released last year and comes bundles with all three BioShock games as well as their downloadable content with a nice coat of 1080p paint.

But the game isn’t what you’re paying $200 for — the extra cash is for one of the coolest video game statues we’ve ever seen. The 11-in figure features both a Big Daddy and a Little Sister from the original BioShock, complete with lights and audio for both characters. The Big Daddy’s drill is even motorized, if he doesn’t already look terrifying enough.

The small details on the figure are equally impressive. In addition to an aged tile floor that looks like it was pulled straight from a building in Rapture, there is a “window” showing off the city in all its dystopian glory. The Big Daddy is standing in a puddle of water that’s splashing up at his feet, and the Little Sister’s eyes even glow — if you’ve played the game, you know that the cause of this is a crucial plot point that can affect the ending.

The BioShock 10th Anniversary Collector’s Edition is available for pre-order right now, and it will release on November 11 exclusively in the United States. If you’re just interested in snagging the base game for a cheaper price, you can do that now, as well. It only costs $30 for all three games, which should keep you occupied as the enormous wave of $60 games hits store shelves in the next few weeks.

What’s your favorite game in the BioShock series. Are you interested in this collector’s edition, or are you holding out for a Booker and Elizabeth figure? Let us know in the comments, would you kindly?

Neverwinter Nights just received a new update, 23 years after its original release

A screenshot from Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition.

The 2002 RPG Neverwinter Nights is a masterclass in game design. Now 23 years old, the community behind Neverwinter Nights has kept the game alive and active all this time — and it has been given a new, unofficial update "by unpaid software engineers from the NWN community." This patch includes several quality-of-life improvements, graphical fixes, and performance boosts to keep the game running smoothly on modern hardware. For reference, roughly a year after Neverwinter Nights, BioWare released the cult-classic Knights of the Old Republic. BioWare was at the height of its prowess with regard to storytelling and gameplay.

Despite the game's age, it still has a long-standing community of fans and creators that give Neverwinter Nights nearly unlimited replayability. In addition to The Wailing Death campaign that comes with the original release of the game, Neverwinter Nights also has two other campaigns: Horde of the Underdark and Shadows of the Undrentide. If none of those tickle your fancy, then the fan-made campaigns might be the place to look. Think about it like a homebrew DnD campaign, except that it's all programmed for you to play through at your leisure. There are dozens of fan-made campaigns to choose from, many of which are on-par with original Wizards of the Coast content in terms of quality.

You Asked: What’s the most impressive thing you saw at CES?

You Asked CES Editors Cut

On today’s special edition of You Asked, we tracked down each of our editors and put them on the spot to find out what they thought was the most impressive thing they saw at CES 2025 in Early January. Let’s find out what they had to say.
Panasonic Z95B

There’s been some really cool TV tech at CES, but the thing I’m most excited about is the new Panasonic Z95B. Instead of the regular OLED display structure we’ve seen in recent years with MLA technology, this uses a four-layer panel structure. It features individual red, green, and blue layers (two of the latter) for the emissive light.

3 game studios are closing their doors, including the developer of Godfall

We're barely into 2025, and the gaming industry has already delivered bad news: Three studios are shutting their doors, resulting in dozens of layoffs. Two of the three studios are subsidiaries of Enad Global 7, and the company said, "This decision does not come lightly and follows several initiatives to turn the subsidiary profitable."

The first studio to close is Toadman Interactive, best known for Immortal: Unchained and Bloodsports TV. While not the direct developer, the studio offered support during the development of The Lord of the Rings Online and MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries. According to Enad Global 7, the closing affects everyone not under contract, and existing employment contracts will be honored. Adding salt to the wound is the news that 38 developers from Piranha Games are also going to be laid off following the subpar performance of MechWarrior 5: Clans.
