Bioshock 2's latest viral site.
According to Kotaku.com: Quote:
Take-Two has officially set the BioShock 2: Sea of Dreams hype machine in motion, launching a new teaser web site for the game and plastering viral marketing posters linked to the online marketing effort. There's not much to see at the "There's Something In The Sea" site outside of photo of the Big Daddy doll (seen in the first BioShock 2 trailer), a newspaper clipping detailing the kidnapping of 7-year-old Maura Clune, and a hand-written letter speculating on the kidnapping from a J. Lynch. These documents are pinned to a map with the date "2/20/67" scrawled next to the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. 2K Games has begun teasing the game in another fashion, as well.
Reader Dominique sent us the above snapshot of a "There's Something In The Sea" promo poster, which teases the same red light described in the account of Maura Clune's kidnapping.
We're sure to learn more soon, as BioShock 2's release date looms ever closer. There's Something In The Sea [Official Site - thanks, Dominique!]

A sleek, female version of the lumbering Big Daddy that menaced players in the original BioShock will be featured in the sequel to the well-received shooter, sources tell Kotaku.
We've heard that this Big Sisters will be an amazonian version of the Big Daddy, wearing similar, though svelter, gear.
Earlier this week, the teaser site for BioShock 2 went live. There'sSomethingInTheSea.com launched with pictures of a doll found on the beach. At first glance, the doll looks like a Big Daddy, but there are some minor differences, and the description found with the doll describe the abductor as tall and fast.
On Friday, the site updated with images of shoe prints, in the corner you can see a pink ribbon.
With the pre-release campaign for the game heating up and the Game Developers Conference only weeks away, there's a good chance we'll be hearing more about the Big Sisters and what role they might play in the game.
At the very least we should catch a glimpse of her, if she's real, during the first look at the game during GDC.

Game Informer's April cover confirms what Kotaku readers already knew: Big Sister will greet gamers when they land in BioShock 2's Rapture later this year.
The cover shows off the new creature, which we described as an amazonian version of the Big Daddy, wearing similar, though svelter, gear. The image depicts a Little Sister riding on the back of the Big Sister in a sort of papoose cage.
The story behind the Big Sister and what sort of role they or it will play in the upcoming game will likely be revealed both at this month's Game Developers Conference and perhaps in the latest Game Informer which promises 10 pages of coverage.
