Sweet, i will grab this when i can- more plasmids sounds like fun!

I think this game needs more than just a few new plasmids in order for me to want to play through it again. I've seen both endings, so there's just no replayability anymore. It could have really benefited from multiplayer or co-op, even if it was just a half ar**d effort thrown together at the last minute, it would do for me.

I'm with the sarg here, also seen both endings, in fact, i was thinking of putting it on the bay soon.

I've only seen the one ending (the 'happy' one I think cos I saved all the little sisters) but I won't be playing it again in the near future.

I have patched the game though, FWIW.

Have to say though that I thoroughly enjoyed it while it lasted and it is a brilliant game.

I've found that I've often regretted selling off some games and think I'll hang on to Bioshock, I may just get a hankering to play it again in a year or two.

Right now I've really got a yearning to play Little Big Adventure 2

I loved that game, never did finish it and sold it I managed to get a copy from an abandonware site but it won't run, even in Win 98. I think it's either corrupted or it needs Win 95, which probably means I have no chance.

Unless I load Win95 into VM Ware, hmmm...

I think I still have my set of floppies with Windows 3.1 and the Win 95 upgrade CD.

Anyway *cough* I'm waffling - Bioshock

sure ive seen both endings.... by my cound the good ending 3 times and the bad once. So i dont have any problems with the replay factor. You'd be surprised what you miss when you dont take it slow and really look around
