Essentials Collection - Xbox 360

With the 2K Essentials Collection, you can battle enemies, rescue citizens and develop your skills in three unique and terrifying environments. First, uncover the secrets of the city of Rapture, a failed utopia whose founders experimented with genetic engineering before the city was overrun with anarchy. BioShock plummets you into Rapture, where corpses litter the city. Wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as evil little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens attempt to ambush you at every turn. Then journey to the harsh frontier planet Pandora where you are greeted by an array of native creatures bent on stopping your mission. Borderlands sets you off in search of a mysterious alien vault. You are destined to comb the vast environment, fighting your way through bandits and discovering aggressive creatures. Survive the alien environment and finish what you started, or succumb to the unfamiliar wasteland. Finally, hurl yourself into a massive global battle against mysterious and violent aliens. Earth's governments unite to form an elite paramilitary organization, XCOM, to combat this extraterrestrial attack. The highly acclaimed XCOM: Enemy Unknown is an action-strategy game about civilization's last stand.

The 2K Essentials Collection puts power in your hands: In BioShock you explore the incredibly authentic water effects and environments, customize your weapons with ionic gels, explosives and toxins, and brace your body with genetic modifications to mutate yourself into the ultimate fighting machine. Then step into the shoes of one of four distinct characters in Borderlands, where you battle enemies in frantic first-person shooter combat. In the unforgiving environment of Pandora, search the planet for loot and wield a virtually endless variety of weapons and continue to customize your character. Join and leave other players' games at will, play in split-screen format or choose to face Pandora alone. Fight through bandits, discover nine native creatures and aid the few settlers on the planet as you seek the rumored treasure in the alien vault. Finally, as the commander of XCOM, you control the global defense team in a battle against alien invasion by creating a fully operational base, researching alien technologies and planning combat missions. The fate of the world rests in your hands. Can you handle the pressure-packed challenges and cruel environments of all three games? Innocent lives depend on you escaping the worlds victorious — it is Essential you don't let them down.
