I consider myself quite a thrifty (read: cheap) shopper when videogames are concerned. Pre-ordering a game on one website, only for another to sell it cheaper later on results in a slightly hazardous shopping experience – well, as hazardous as using a mouse and keyboard can be, at any rate.

BioShock 2 is available now for pre-order on Amazon.co.uk for £29.99, but, as I learned with Mass Effect 2, these aren’t the kind of offers that stick around forever. If you’re of a more cautious disposition and are dubious about 2K Marin’s sequel, however, our review of the game will be in X360 56, available in late February.
