Bioshock (PC/360)

Re: Bioshock (PC/360)

Well I just finished the 2nd level and I've got to say the graphics, sound, environment and gameplay are just amazing. I've already noticed there's some strategy involved when choosing certain tonics/plasmids because of the limited amount of open spots you have... I've also tried to hack just about everything I can as well, some can be tough.

Oh and the little 'sisters' are damn creepy!

I'm not the least bit interested in this type of game but I will say it looks AMAZING. Absolutely amazing.

Bioshock will be available through steam for the pc

Steam? Do they allow downloads of other people's game now? Or does Valve not own Steam? I always thought Steam was used for only Valve games. I'm curious how it actually works... 2k isn't involved with valve at all, are they?

I believe valve has signed up with a couple of different publishers do distribute games through their steam system.

You can get dues ex, quake, civ iv, and a bunch of others.

I'm completely jealous of those who were able to get Bioshock and even moreso jealous of those who used the 50% Madden deal

Not only a good read but it was very well written.

Re: Bioshock (PC/360)

I hate STEAM.

I also hate Steam. I wish I didn't have to use it to play Defcon.

Both of the TRU stores I called about this game are now smart enough to know they can't sell it yet. Booooo.

Re: Bioshock (PC/360)

Well my TRU got the e-mail...there was a gaping hole behind the counter right next to "The Bigs", so it was out yesterday.

Five more days!

Jack Thompson’s sights set on BioShock now?

http://xboxer.tv/2007/08/jack_thompsons_sights_set_on_b.html

Things have been remarkably quiet on the Jack Thompson front recently; hell, what with GTA IV held back until next year and Manhunt 2 currently trying to appeal its unrated classification from the BBFC, you’d think he’d be sitting back, sipping on some margaritas and psyching himself up for a new year chock full of violent digital atrocities to campaign against. But no, it seems that Thompson’s crusade knows no rest – the lawyer recently revealed in a comment on an unrelated topic on Game Politics that his sights are now set on BioShock. “Please note that big trouble is on the way for Take-Two re BioShocks [sic]” stated Thompson, finishing with his trademark, “Hooah!”

Wait a minute – BioShock? I can sort of make the conceptual leap to how animated violence in a semi-realistic city space might, hypothetically, affect an impressionable mind, but BioShock is set in a decidedly un-realistic crumbling underwater utopia where the ‘enemies’ are not the emergency services and gangsters – they’re malformed genetically altered freaks, for crying out loud. And those are the ones that look the most human.

<script type="text/javascript"> <!-- writeDart('336x280', 'top'); --> </script><script style="display: none;" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="http://ad.uk.doubleclick.net/adj/P4542.SHG/xboxer;kw=2007,08,jack_thompsons_sights_set_on_b.h tml;tile=5;true=1;;;pos=top;sz=336x280;ord=4436003 92"></script> It’s probably those Little Sisters – perhaps kids, who by the way aren’t supposed to playing BioShock, nor any Jack’s other favourite whipping boys, will be subconsciously trained into having violent inclinations towards corpse-sucking small girls with glowing green eyes. Plus, its’ not as though knocking them off in the game is without repercussions – no, no; mess with them and you’ll learn the error of your ways via the medium of a lightning-fast behemoth in a diving suit with a drill for a hand. Tell me that’s not a good reason to rationally question the morality of your in-game actions.

The sad fact is that the only reason Thompson has taken his fight to BioShock is because it is being published by 2K Games, a subsidiary of his arch-nemesis Take-Two Interactive. We tried contacting 2K Games for a statement but at the time of print we hadn't heard anything back. If we do, we’ll let you know.
