Item Description

Three very different studios, three very different games, and each one changed its genre. The 2K Essentials Collection gathers BioShock, Borderlands and XCOM: Enemy Unknown, a trio 2K released together on Xbox 360 in 2013 as a budget-friendly way to catch up on some of the publisher's biggest hits of the generation.

BioShock is the headliner for many players. It drops you into Rapture, Andrew Ryan's art deco city beneath the Atlantic, years after its utopian dream has collapsed into madness. Plasmids let you shoot lightning and swarms of bees from your hands, Big Daddies lumber through the flooded halls guarding the eerie Little Sisters, and the choice of whether to save or harvest those girls hangs over the whole adventure. Its story, and one famous turn of phrase, is still talked about as a high point of narrative design in shooters.

Borderlands takes the opposite approach: a sun-blasted, cel-shaded planet called Pandora, four Vault Hunters in Roland, Lilith, Mordecai and Brick, and a procedural gun system that churns out seemingly endless weapons with strange combinations of stats and elemental effects. Gearbox's blend of first-person shooting and Diablo-style loot chasing launched the shooter-looter genre on consoles, and it is built for co-op, including split-screen play on a single Xbox 360. XCOM: Enemy Unknown, Firaxis's 2012 reboot of the classic 1994 strategy game, rounds out the set. You run a secret organization defending Earth from alien invasion, managing a cutaway underground base, researching recovered technology and sending squads into tense turn-based battles where a single missed shot can cost a veteran soldier forever. Ironman mode, with one save file and no take-backs, turns every campaign into a personal war story.

Shooter, looter, strategy: the three cover a remarkable amount of ground, and each represents its studio at a peak. On one Xbox 360 shelf, this set gives you dozens of hours across three of the most influential games of the console's lifespan.
