    BioShock Spoiler Thread

    Alas, it's not. He does mock Jack later on for being so credulous, but no real explanation is given as to why did he risk his life by leaving his hiding place and coming to the submarine bay.

    58: Green-Eyed Grrl

    A great article about a great game. I've tried BG&E several times myself, never found any time to actually finish it (yet!), but came to really love it. Political matters put aside, it has some real magic in it.
