BioWare has officially announced Mass Effect 2, the sequel to their hit game of 2007, hitting the PC and Xbox 360 in “early 2010”. A teaser trailer was released in late February, but there had been no formal press release about the game until now.
BioShock 2 Information Starts to Surface
The marketing campaign for BioShock 2 has started in full swing. A viral site popped up a week ago, There is Something Under the Sea, showing a world map.

Alongside each cross and date is a handful of information, in the form of letters, newspaper clippings and photographs.
Square Enix Offers to Buy Eidos
Japanese giant Square Enix has made a buyout bid for Eidos, for $120 million – a 129% premium over the worth of the latter company’s stock.

The buyout is likely to go ahead, and what effect this will have on the development of Deus Ex 3 remains to be seen.
BioShock 2 Embargo til April?
Considering that BioShock 2 is expected to come out this fall, there has been a distinct lack of information since its announcement. A teaser trailer is all we have been given, telling us very little beyond some thematic hints. An inquiry to Community Manager Elizabeth Tobey as to when we were likely to be getting more information was met with a cheery lack of comment.
Petter Hegevall, a contributor at Swedish gaming site Gamereactor has reportedly seen BioShock 2 in action, but is not saying a word til April. It is reasonable to assume then that the information embargo will last until April, barring any exclusives.
