In doing so, he also destroyed the technology he'd used to digitize himself.  He's long since left ENCOM in the hands of Alan Bradley, who is raising a family of his own.<br />
<br />
Now ruthless global corporate powers want to send humans into the digital realm once more in order to control world finances, and only Alan knows the answer to perfecting their faulty code.  Alan encrypted his secrets in time to prevent their theft, but now he's been kidnapped, and the search for the code is on.<br />
<br />
You enter the fray as Jet Bradley, Alan's brilliant but rebellious son, who finds himself enlisted by Ma3a to fight the now viral corporate security officer within the digital realm and prevent global domination.<br />
<br />
The Tron series of games are based upon the 1982 Walt Disney movie of the same name, beginning with a Tron arcade game and arcade sequel.  Tron 2.0 is the first game of the series to be produced for the PC, and subsequently was released for Mac.  A related title, &quot;Tron 2: Killer App&quot; was later released for the Xbox, but with significantly altered content.<br />

Often touted as the &quot;Spiritual successor to System Shock 2&quot;, BioShock is a long awaited fps in development by Irrational Games, with lead designer Ken Levine promising to advance the definition of first person shooters.  <br />

As a likely 2007 release grows closer more screenshots and trailers are being released, and one thing that's apparent is a gorgeous environment, seemingly inspired in great part by the art deco period of the last century.<br />

BioShock is a revolution in the shooter genre that will forever change the expectations for the FPS. Going beyond &quot;run and gun corridors,&quot; &quot;monster-closet AIs&quot; and static worlds, BioShock creates a living, unique and unpredictable FPS experience. BioShock is the Shooter 2.0.<br />

After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn.<br />
