A classic first-person shooter. Playing this on multiplayer quite a lot in college with a few of my friends.

I agree with you - somewhat - but on the other hand, Bioshock 2 was so alike Bioshock that I figured anyone who really enjoyed the first would at least play through the second.

To me it felt a bit like a bioshock addon, but while that may disappoint somewhat as a full blown sequel, it's still something I'd gladly play.

It's situated in the Swiss alps. Strange :)

There also seems to be a finnish and a swedish flag right after the norwegian one. Maybe the swiss people just love our nordic countries. ;)

Maybe they just placed some random flag patterns on random flags :D.

Just checking out what I missed during my teenage non-video game playing years.

Earthworm Jim is a freaking classic. That was one of the first games I ever remember playing, along with MechAssault 2, Lemmings, Tetris and Star Wars for the GB

Back from my SNES games renting days, I remember Earthworm Jim mainly as being bloody hard. I didn't like it much.

Jans, I guess you've checked out classics like Zelda : A Link to the Past or Super Metroid already? Starwing (or Starfox) and Super Mario World 2 are also worth a look if you haven't yet. :)

Yeah that's what I was trying to get at. The first one was unlike anything I'd ever played before, and because of that I really got immersed in it. And when I saw that the second one just seemed like it was a rehash of the first, I lost interest pretty quickly.

I don't have any of those actually. It's a funny thing with me, I played all these Atari and NES games when I was a kid because I owned those two consoles but I was kind of outgrowing video games by the time SNES and Genesis/Mega Drive came out and never owned either of those so I only had a small amount of exposure to those games. I didn't get back into playing video games really until about two years ago when I bought a Wii so it's been weird to look back at this big gap of time where I totally missed out on major developments in games.

Recently I've downloaded a bunch to my Wii and it's been pretty interesting. Some are games I played a lot as a kid, like Blaster Master or Arkanoid, but others are me filling in the gaps, like the games I already mentioned and Super Mario World. It's funny, I didn't even know there was a Super Mario World 2!

You're totally right about Earthworm Jim by the way, it's absurdly hard. I don't think I've even made it past the first level yet.

I enjoyed Bioshock 2. Not as much as the first one, of course, but I still thought it was good.
Really interested in Bioshock: Infinite, as it's in a new location and whatnot.

And Earthworm Jim = Amazing. I beat it recently.
I bought it on Xbox Live Arcade, and there are difficulty levels now.
Easy > Normal > Hard > Original

I beat it on Original. There are two achievements I'll never acquire, however.

1. Beat It on Original in one sitting in under 50 minutes.
2. Beat It on Original without dying.

Yeah, Infinite should be great. How can you not get excited after a trailer like this:
