I'm actually not too sure about this one.

It looks a little too Retro/post WWII dont understand why it aint appealing to me TBH

Stalker did at first then I played it and got shut after about 2 weeks.

Think i'm gonna stay on the fence until I hear a little more about it after the release date

I was like that but the more i read the more i quite like the idea of it. Big plus for it also is that its fully optmised for the pc and not a damn console port so should run really well! ;)
Will be worth a play i reckon. :thumb:

Sounds like I'm going to have to invest in a new GC pretty soon :(

Jesus its not like my 7900GT is slow!


I swear games used to scale much better. That last engine that actualy bothered scaling for low end PCs was Source, and that is 4 years old now!



Still it'll be worth it. Crysis and Bioshock look awesome :D:D

Yup, i've been looking forward to this since i first heard of it. The reviews show that this isn't a game for the faint hearted, its supposed to be a long, horrific and brilliant game.

Ok so who's got a Xbox 360? The demos out for that, PC Demo to follow, even though the games due out in two weeks. :thumb:

The BioShock demo, announced after the world premiere of the BioShock launch trailer on Spike TV, has just now gone live on Marketplace. Boot up your 360s and get downloading. Rapture awaits.

For those of you who are looking for a BioShock demo on the PC, it is in the works and will be out later this month. I'll give you more details about it tomorrow.

The Xbox 360 demo is getting some good reviews, this is good, as the pc version should be even better! :D
