    played it cool, and started a light conversation. At that time, her manager and other co-worker walked in. The dude asks her what she is selling me. She says, oh this game, and holds it up. The dude freaked out and said she couldnt sell it to me.

    I was 5 minutes too late to be able to walk away with it.


    BASTARDS!
    That's what you get for pimpin'.

        Good job getting it early man.

        Hey I am a bit confused, I thought this game was an RPG. But others have cleared up for me that it's not, it's a FPS. How can a FPS be so mind blowing and great like these reviews are saying? I mean you can't really get into the RPG elements so isn't it just a shooter with glorified graphics or am I missing something?

            "BioShock is a first-person shooter with some RPG customization elements to the game, similar to that found in the spiritual predecessor, System Shock 2. A 14 minute video showing for the first time to the public game play and introducing some of the AI was released on September 20, 2006.<sup id="_ref-6" class="reference">[7]"

            </sup> BioShock is loaded with some of greatest, most modifiable weapons to ever blast their way into a shooter. But guns alone won’t be enough to defeat the devious AIs of Rapture. There are literally hundreds of other strategies players can use to take out his enemies. Here’s just a few things you can do a foe:
            • Catch his Grenades in Mid Air and Toss Them Back at Him
            • Freeze Him Solid and Shatter Him with Smack of your Wrench
            • Lead him and his comrades to water and Zap them all with 1000 Volts
            • Burn Him Up With Home-Made Molotov Cocktails
            • Booby Trap Healing Machines and Watch Them Blow up IN his Face
            • Brainwash Him to Become Your Personal BodyGuard
            • Invent your own Ammo Types to Prey on his Vulnerabilities
            • Turn his own Security System Against Him
            • Light Him on Fire and Launch Heat Seeking Missiles At him
            • Torment Him with Plagues of Insects
            • Take Research Photos of Him to Learn his Weaknesses
            • Send Him Flying into the Ceiling to Knock him Senseless
            No encounter ever plays out the same way twice. No two gamers will ever play BioShock the same way.

              I guess i'm hung up on semantics then because that seems like a lot more than a FPS in how I think of it. It sounds kind of like Deus Ex maybe?

                      Dogg if you've played System Shock 2, Irrational Games are the developers who made both System Shock 2 and Bioshock.

                          It recently came to 2K Games’ attention that one of our retail partners prematurely sold some copies of BioShock prior to the game's official launch date. Retailers are typically shipped product in advance to ensure they can meet launch day demand on street-dated product. As a result, a few people were able to purchase the game early. Additionally, a TV advertisement for BioShock prematurely ran that incorrectly indicated that the game was available for purchase. 2K Games has reached out to our retail partners and is maintaining the street date of August 21st in North America and August 24th in Europe, when BioShock will be available at retailers. 2K Games is appreciative of the gamer excitement and critical acclaim leading up to the title’s launch.

                              Damn, the guy couldn't wait 6 days to play to get the game? By the time it gets to him the game is pretty much going to be out.

                              If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                                Imagine if Halo 3's street date gets broken.

                                There might be murders.

                                Oh well, I can wait a few more days.
