Rapture FTW

Jarod | May 1, 2010

I won. I won Bioshock 2 and the promotion/press pack including the soundtrack. It came in a big box which looked like a cage. The post banged it up pretty badly, though. I won it on GamersGlobal.de, they had a big lottery in which you could invest their artificial currency to buy tickets. It’s a pretty clever system, you get experience points and level up for nearly everything you do on the site, like adding comments, or filling in your profile. The higher the rank, the more you can do, too. Like writing and posting news and videos. You get currency when you gain “achievements”, i.e. medals, for example when you enter 50 games to your library and so on. But even if you don’t do much (like me) you get enough to participate in the lottery – and I got lucky (as many others). I usually never win anything, cool.

Pandorum could have been a pretty good sci-fi movie. With a better script and editing. It starts out so good, it’s a shame. It tanked at the box office and will be forgotten very soon. Okay, it’s far from being overly original, but if you like Alien, Solaris and the like, you might like this – or despise it even more for being almost good.
