Bioshock 2 is a game that is far separated from the original developer team and original vision. The story of Bioshock 2 is separated from the first by ten long years. 479e1f2f-8d5a-4c04-b157-7fd3db26230f Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:00:00 GMT Freestyle 3/01/10 a game reveiw Tyler Manning Staff Writer http://www.ulmhawkeye.com/news/2010/03/01/Freestyle/ Arts/Entertainment http://www.ulmhawkeye.com/news/2010/03/01/Freestyle/Dantes.Inferno-3881900.shtml There should not have been a video game based on Dante Alighieri's Inferno, the first part of his Divine Comedy. Electronic Arts disagreed, recently releasing a game called Dante's Inferno. Whatever the game may have in common with the epic poem is irrelevant as Dante's Inferno (the game) has problems of its own to overcome. 184a0986-b107-4d6e-9322-2c451e51a4b6 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:00:00 GMT Freestyle 3/01/10 a game reveiw Tyler Manning Staff Writer http://www.ulmhawkeye.com/news/2010/03/01/Freestyle/ Arts/Entertainment http://www.ulmhawkeye.com/news/2010/03/01/Perspectives/Letter.To.The.Editor-3881885.shtml We sympathize with the ULM Honors Program for not receiving funding for their conference travel. However, pointing the finger towards the Greek senators for the motion's shortcomings does not fix the problem, nor does it address a conflict of interest within the SGA. bf33b4f0-c37c-4f3f-92b0-f8cf2e2f1a01 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:00:00 GMT Perspectives 3/01/10 A Response to "But what happens when a fraction of the campus community 'takes over' SGA?" http://www.ulmhawkeye.com/news/2010/03/01/Perspectives/ Opinion/Editorial http://www.ulmhawkeye.com/news/2010/03/01/Perspectives/Why-I.Dont.Tip-3881886.shtml I know that I will probably lose some friends over my newfound practice of not tipping waiters and bartenders, but who needs friends with all the money I'm going to save from not tipping? My contention with tips is that instead of being an occasional reward for going above and beyond the call of duty, they have become something expected. bc7f7e2a-da43-4625-af96-f53ca1e4dd26 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 05:00:00 GMT Perspectives 3/01/10 Joseph Roberts http://www.ulmhawkeye.com/news/2010/03/01/Perspectives/ Opinion/Editorial
