2K Marin shows first gameplay of BioShock 2's campaign, in which you star as the first Big Daddy ever created in Rapture. PLUS: new Plasmids combos, a badass arm drill, and a lethal encounter with the menacing new Big Sister.
The secret is out - in 2009's BioShock 2, you ARE the Big Daddy. In fact, you're the first Big Daddy ever created, a slightly smaller, more agile prototype of the hulking brutes found in the first BioShock. As a Big Daddy, you have a thicker skin, more powerful weapons, and the ability to attack enemies with a powerful arm-mounted Drill and a penetrating Rivet Gun. As in the original BioShock, you'll be able to adopt the Little Sisters who prowl the underwater world of Rapture, protecting them while they extract the precious mutagen Adam from the dead bodies that litter this dying utopia.
Link to the Past
If this all sounds confusing, you must have missed out on one of 2007's best games - a thinking-man's shooter called BioShock. In BioShock, you guided a human intruder through the depths of Rapture, a crumbling empire built deep under the sea. The chief antagonist was Andrew Ryan, a quixotic billionaire tycoon who abandoned the surface world due to interference from the government and religious authorities. Ryan created Rapture as a paradise for free thinkers: artists, scientists, and philosophers who couldn't stomach following the rules. Unfortunately, the dream collapsed once Rapture's denizens discovered a powerful stem cell-like substance called "Adam," which alters the human genome to unlock powerful abilities such as rapid healing, telekinesis, and more. Adam's influence triggered an arms race in the bubble of Rapture, and triggered a civil war that ended in death and despair. In the original BioShock, you entered this shattered world and slowly learned the truth about its mysterious inhabitants in a suspenseful, thought-provoking, and absolutely engrossing first-person shooter experience. The cornerstone of BioShock's gameplay was the relationship between the player and the bizarre characters that inhabited Rapture: most notably, the striking pair of the brutish Big Daddy and helpless Little Sister, who formed a symbiotic, mutually beneficial relationship that you had to exploit in order to survive. BioShock was, and still is, one of the best games on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Man, I can't wait! Dual wielding plasmids and weapons at the same time will be awesome.
