We interrupt your regularly scheduled repetitious typing of "All work and no play makes (insert your name here) a dull boy/girl to bring you the October 2020 edition of RF Generation's Site News! In this issue, we announce our sequelicious November Community Playthrough game, reveal our shoot 'em up club title, and of course, thank those members who sent in submissions to our site and registered approvals last month. Thanks for keeping it on Channel 3 and please continue to keep you and your loved ones SAFE!     

REMEMBER: If you have any news about upcoming events or topics that you think the site needs to hear about, please PM singlebanana and put "RFG Site News" in the subject line.  Who knows, maybe your news will make our front page!

In November, Rich (singlebanana) and Shawn (GrayGhost81) keep that creepy vibe going by returning to the sequel of a former November playthrough with the second game in the Bioshock series, Bioshock 2.  Bioshock 2 is a 2007, first-person shooter that takes place 8 years after the events of the first game. You take on the role of Subject Delta, a Big Daddy brought back to existence by the Little Sisters and your companion Eleanor. In order to survive, you must track down her mother, Sofia Lamb and ultimately rescue your "little sis" no matter the odds or consequences.  What twists and turns await you in the dystopian city of Rapture?  Which of the multiple endings will you attain?  And will you ultimately show the citizens and your enemies of Rapture who's their Big Daddy?

If you're playing Bioshock 2 along with us in November, be sure to join our forum HERE and chat with us about the game.

Imagine an alternate future, if you will. What if America wasn't where the British colonists landed? What if civilization had already advanced far beyond where we are today, and instead, had already reached the level of space travel, 400 years ago? If so, Jamestown wouldn't have been planted in Virginia, or anywhere on the east coast of what we know as America. Instead, it would have reached beyond the Earth, and started elsewhere. In an alternate past, in 1619, Jamestown was born...on Mars.

In 2011, Final Form Games brought this vision to life, as Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony, debuting on PC. Just 4 years later, it was updated with new levels, and new modes, and came to PlayStation 4 as Jamestown+. More recently, Jamestown+ has made its way to Nintendo Switch, and is also available on Steam. A loving homage to CAVE-style danmaku games, with some flavor all its own, and a very different visual approach, with it's "vertizontal" orientation. Join the RF Generation Shmup Club in November 2020, as we play Jamestown+ and discover an alternate timeline!
