James and guest host TehSnakerer open the book on this redacted part of XCOM history, digging into its initial prototypes and development hurdles, before a much needed autopsy of this alien relic of the prestige FPS era.

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?
