BioShock and BioShock 2 just $4 from Gamefly

20110411bioshock

If you haven’t yet experienced the original BioShock and its solid if not quite as magical sequel, now is the time.

If that doesn’t fill the hole left in your life by the ending of BioShock Infinite I am unsure what will. Probably nothing. There is only sorrow, forever.

Thanks, Joystiq.
