Watched the trailer for BioShock. Sod me, how good is that little video. Love it. Can't wait for this game, it's going to be good.

This is true, however if you want to cut a week on that wait period, then go ahead and download the game via BitTorrent. It's not illegal as long as you either delete the game or buy it withing 24 hours of download ;)

As far as I know, that 24 hour rule is bullshit....
Well, I'm not a lawyer and know fuck all about law, especially US ones, but I do know one thing.
You can download the Art of Bioshock on the 2K webpage. http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/artbook.html
Both high def and low def. Fancy that. And you don't have to delete it after 24 hours either!

If I got Bioshock on my computer, I sure as shit wouldn't have the willpower to delete it~

Nope, you're right. It's horseshit. It's quite possibly the strangest fake law people convince themselves of ever, seeing how it makes no logical sense whatsoever.

What's your system specs?

That's not really the best way to determine how the game is going to run. Depending on the version of UE3 and the quality of the coding will decide how well the game runs. So without knowing the quirks of the engine, your assessment of his performance of the game based on the specs will be nothing more then an educated guess based from games that are not of the UE3 engine most likely too.

Trust me, only real way to know what performance will be like is with a demo.

Had a play on the demo last night. Hot damn this game looks good. I'm definitely glad I've got it on pre-order, can't wait to start playing it and getting my hands on the different powers and weapons.

One little thing I rather liked was the little mini-game required to 'hack' the security bots when they turned up. That was cool. Oh, and of course, eletrifying three splicers as they stood in a pool of water. How much fun. :p

Anybody know whether the limited edition soundtrack will be a full OST or if it will just be a "mini" soundtrack? I heard rumors that it wouldn't be complete, so I figured I'd wait to plunk down $60 until specifics surfaced on it.

It's "Selected Tracks", so it's not gonna be a full disc.

Dunno if there's plans to release a full one either.

You'd probably be better off looking forward to a gamerip if there are tracks not on the ost that you'd really want.

It seems like maybe the street date for Bioshock has been moved forward to now. Commercials have been updated with the " available now " text and my credit card was just charged for 79.98 about an half hour ago and the only pre-order i have that matches that exact amount is my bioshock preorder and in my years of dealing with gamestop online. They only ever charge me for a game the day before or the day of shipping the game to me. So hopefully this is a good sign and we all can get bioshock a week earlier then anticipated.

I hope they're going to extend this to Europe. I have trouble waiting till the 24th. I wouldn't get angry or anything, I promise!

I thought I'd seen somewhere that 2K Games have said the release date hasn't been brought forward. Still have to wait for the 24th then. Damn it.

I've noticed a few reviews have gone up online which just make me want this even more.

Yeah, it's still the 21st/24th and most stores that leaked stopped.

I figure I would just post all the reviews so far and any links to them for the undecided =)

4 MORE DAYS WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Those scores are crazy. I hope my PC will be able to handle it, it looks as revolutionary as Half-Life or Quake was.

I wish I had a godly PC to run it, but I don't want to spend that much money when I can play it on my 360 where it is also guaranteed to have a smooth framerate and amazing graphics regardless.

Actually, I'm more intrigued about physics and gameplay. I don't really need fancy shadows or anti-aliasing to enjoy it.

Well obviously, thats guaranteed. I hear its equal and/or better to Gears of War/Oblivion too.

How are you going to have time to play this since you are still busy playing Oblivion.

Oh christ <3 I'm pleased as can be that this is panning out well. With that many high scores, this can't be a "hype-storm" of sorts.

I just got news that I need to be in a hotel the evening of the 21st for my time offshore. I'm literally going to install this minutes before I leave on that day (need the be online for verification). I just hope UPS has its shit together and my special shipping with Gamestop doesn't fall through.

I like how I sat down and played BioShock for 6 hours.

Uh I finished that a while ago.

Review List updated.
