On this episode of Bullet Time, we begin our shortest mini-series focusing on the work of Novato based developers 2K Marin, beginning with their 2010 shooter sequel Bioshock 2. Video maker Sputnik34 returns for this return to the dystopia of Rapture. We ask whether Irrational's underwater paradise lost its lustre without the vision of its great leader, and just how important are big guns to big games?

On this episode of Bullet Time, Jackie Estacado returns in Digital Extremes’ 2012 follow up to The Darkness, aptly titled The Darkness II. Also returning is video maker ZacFraizer to join James in discussion of this lateral sequel that’s as good as the first but in a very different way. The two also talk about the career of FPS stalwarts Digital Extremes, excellent gun feel, and the mama mia pizza pasta voice.

On this episode of Bullet Time, video maker ZacFraizer makes his triumphant return for one of the better games covered on the pod so far: Starbreeze’s 2007 shooter The Darkness. This episode goes long, and includes a spoilered section between 02:16:00 and 03:22:00. In this bumper length runtime we talk developer history, the origins of The Darkness, its unique atmosphere, and place in the pantheon of “prestiege FPS games”.
