    Re: Bioshock (PC/360)

    Well in their defense, a mom and pop type place in Knoxville sold NCAA 07 early last year and EA is supposedly "suing" each one of them for breaking the street date according to one of the employees that is still there. Now, whether that is true or not I don't know, but if it is, you can bet your *** I wouldn't be selling a game early if it meant I could possibly be paying a hefty fine.

      Probably what will happen is EA won't sell to them next year as they broke their agreement with EA.

            A) don't care
            B) look to profit from it, hence charging $10 more for NCAA and $20 more for Madden

            It'll never change either because EA doesn't have time to track down all these little stores and sue all of them, that's laughable.

              Since the game is out in the wild, i would strongly suggest you watch where you go unless you dont mind reading spoilers until next week.

                Is it possible to add a no spoilers alert to the subject?

                  Yeah, no leveling up or experience like you see real RPG games. You spend ADAM on new Plasmids (Weaponry, Engineering, Active, and Physical). There's 20 plasmids and 50 gene tonics. Tonics are similar to plasmids, as they are also used to enhance your character. The difference is that plasmids are instant quick changes, while tonics are passive and last forever.

                  For the weapons, there's 8, with 6 being fully modifiable, 12 mods (3 per weapon), 3 ammo types (normal, anti-personnel, and armor piercing bullets).

                  You can go looking for different materials around Rapture and take them to the U-invent station to create new things for yourself (ammo, traps, and other stuff). A tin can would allow the Revolver to hold more ammo or an old belt might feed the bullets faster, and you will actually see these modifications you made to your weapons in-game.

                  There's also a camera, which allows you to find out enemies weaknesses, so you don't waste all your precious ammo.

                    Question on the demo: I've seen the Electricity and Inferno (fire) plasmid things, are there other ones I should play through again to find? I finished the demo once, didn't know if there was more to find or not.

                      According to Ken Levine on Major's podcast, those were the only 2 in the demo.

                        Agreed on the spoilers, if any of you get the game early, spoiler tags MUST be used.

                          For anyone who lives near Livingston, New Jersey, the Toys R Us on Route 10 has the game and is selling it. They just got their shipment in and have it in the back, not on the shelfs.
