BioShock, NBA 2K, Mafia, Borderlands: 2K shines from immersive FPS to sports and open worlds. RomWize re-ranks the publisher's best games by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"The third BioShock trades the ocean depths for the flying city of Columbia and delivers an ambitious political and metaphysical tale. The bond formed with Elizabeth leaves a lasting mark, and its ending remains one of the most debated in the medium."
"BioShock Infinite Complete Edition with all DLC including Burial at Sea, return to Rapture with Booker and Elizabeth. The most complete version of a major work, the DLC considerably enriches it."
"BioShock is one of the greatest FPS ever made. Rapture, the fallen Art Deco underwater city, is unforgettable. Revolutionary environmental storytelling, joyful Plasmids, heartbreaking Little Sisters."
"This compilation gathers all three remastered BioShock games, one of the finest narrative trilogies in gaming. Rapture and Columbia retain their full evocative power, and the ports run surprisingly well on Switch."
"BioShock Ultimate Rapture Edition gathers BioShock 1 and 2 with all their DLC. The complete Rapture dive for latecomers. Essential for any PS3 player who hasn't explored the underwater city."
"Standalone XCOM expansion adding new genetic and mechanical possibilities for soldiers. Considerably enriches the base game with new challenges and strategic options. Essential for any fan of the original XCOM Enemy Unknown."
"Slipping into Big Daddy armour gives BioShock 2 an unexpected tenderness and combat with real backbone compared to the original. The story carries more emotional weight, Big Sisters keep the heat on and Rapture remains irresistible."
"Gearbox invent the looter shooter on dusty Pandora with cheeky frat-house humour. The first Borderlands feels rough at times but lays down a devilish formula, and farming the perfect rocket launcher with four pals is era-defining bliss."
"Borderlands 2 GOTY is the most complete version of one of the best looter-shooters with all major DLC included. Additional campaigns, extra characters, staggering total content. The reference."
"Firaxis revive XCOM with an absolutely shattering turn-based tactical simulation. Base management, soldier permadeath and the tension of every mission redefine modern tactical gaming, and the 360 receives one of the biggest strategy shocks of the entire generation."
"Borderlands 2 perfects the recipe to near mythical heights with Handsome Jack, one of gaming's finest villains. The loot is addictive, the writing crackles, and four-player co-op still produces legendary nights today."
"NBA 2K13 is the annual basketball simulation by 2K Sports. Produced by Jay-Z, legendary soundtrack, gameplay at series peak. The reference basketball franchise on console, fluid gameplay and generous content."
"NBA 2K12 is the annual basketball simulation by 2K Sports. Legends Mode with the greatest historical NBA teams. The reference basketball franchise on console, fluid gameplay and generous content."
"NBA 2K17 streamlines MyCAREER and refines the simulation with a new offensive flow system. On 360 this is the penultimate breath of a great series, smooth and stable, proving NBA simulation reigns unchallenged in the sport-game throne."
"NBA 2K12 is the annual basketball simulation by 2K Sports. NBA Legends Mode with all great teams. GOTY version with additional content. The reference basketball franchise on console, fluid gameplay and generous content."
"Sid Meier's grand 4X holds up remarkably on Switch despite an interface built for the mouse. The just-one-more-turn loop remains dangerously time-devouring, and the controller scheme proves surprisingly workable once it clicks."
"NBA 2K14 is the annual basketball simulation by 2K Sports. LeBron on cover, most realistic gameplay at the time. The reference basketball franchise on console, fluid gameplay and generous content."
"NBA 2K11 is the annual basketball simulation by 2K Sports. Playable Michael Jordan, iconic Legend mode. Best NBA 2K PS3 for many. The reference basketball franchise on console, fluid gameplay and generous content."
"NBA 2K15 is the annual basketball simulation by 2K Sports. Kevin Durant on cover, enriched career mode, continued 2K excellence. The reference basketball franchise on console, fluid gameplay and generous content."
"Borderlands Triple Pack groups Borderlands 1, 2 and The Pre-Sequel in one package. The complete Pandora and moon saga for exceptional value. Hundreds of guaranteed co-op hours."
