When we talk about BioShocks underwater city of Rapture, thoughts immediately drift to its founder, Andrew Ryan. His objectivist beliefs are modeled after author Ayn Rand, and his history shares elements with hers.
If you dig into the audio logs, Ryan was born in Russia (much like Ayn Rand), he was middle class (much like Ayn Rand), Levine tells me as we begin our conversation. When the Bolshevik revolution happened, his family business was destroyed. That was a defining event for him: the nationalization of all these industries, his family business was destroyed, and Jews werent exactly beloved in Russia to begin with, but especially a Bourgeois Jew.

All of you Sith lords and Jedi apprentices have much to celebrate today, as Disney has finally announced the launch of all six Star Wars films through digital distribution.

| Six of the best celebrity performances in games
Added: 06.04.2015 11:00 | 20 views | 0 comments
As games now rival films in their ability to whip up a shrieking whirlwind of hard cash and column inches, celebrities treat them less like a spoddy hobby and more like serious star vehicles. No more grainy mid-’90s FMV with Mark Hamill – nowadays we’re talking hi-def double bills with Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe. Even ol' Kevin Spacey has gotten in on the action. These are six of the most complete celebrity facial and vocal performances. Total dedication to the craft is all we accept. Recognise!

007 games entered original territory after The World is Not Enough. This 2004 outing got Brosnan’s face and voice for the first and last time, though both Connery and Craig had a pop later.
Shiny’s 2003 tie-in sidestepped Keanu to hook us up with Niobe (Jada Pinkett-Smith) and Ghost. Ropey game, but with script, direction and new footage from the Wachowskis, it was a real game/film love-in landmark.
Vin Diesel revisited Richard B Riddick for this game-only prequel to Pitch Black. Jails and necks were merrily broken as Starbreeze Studios’ effort blew away the Riddick film released the same year.
Bruce Willis as a trigger-happy nanophysicist trying to stop the Four Horsemen from kicking civilisation in the nutsack? Sign us up. A star of Brucie’s stature going all-in on brand new game IP was big news in ’98, and Neversoft’s game wasn’t bad either.
Only Samanosuke has led the demon-gimping charge more than once – in this 2001 original and again in no 3 with gloomy Jean Reno. Takeshi Kaneshiro (House of Flying Daggers) gave him a face and, in Japan, the voice too.
2007 sequel to Hong Kong classic Hard Boiled with Chow Yun-Fat back as Tequila, fan of Mexican standoffs, banisters and bruises. The slo-mo diving felt indebted to Max Payne, but repaying Remedy’s own John Woo tribute made sense.

KS:
Animism, the attribution of human characteristics to the inanimate, is a curious and innate phenomenon. Jean Piaget, the famous developmental psychologist, observed that children between two and seven years of age almost universally treat their favorite blanket or teddy bear as though it were alive. Psychoanalyst D. W. Winnicott described these items as transitional objects, reasoning that children learn how to detach from their caregivers by imbuing the mundane with emotional significance. After all, it is easier to cope with being apart from mommy if you can clutch a binky which is, at least to some agree, alive with her power to comfort and console.
