Bioshock

I had a feeling this game was going to be awesome.

1up magazine just gave it a 10

I wish I could play remotely scary games/have a 360 to play this on/have a PC that could run it. It looks fabulous.

I find myself in the same boat as you.

Yeah...it looks like it's on the same level as GOW graphically (if not better). Very different gameplay, of course.

I just pre-ordered it from Steam. I think it should finish downloading by the time it's released. Ha.
I'm worried because the recommended requirements are my system.

This definitely looks awesome. I may end up getting it for my 360.

Yep, that's why you can buy it on ebay for $100.

IGN just gave it a 9.7. I suspect that my Dad and I will split the cost and get it once I receive my new computer. Of course I have to order it first...

So far so good. I played for about an hour before the game crashed, so I took a break to play Dark Messiah (almost at the end).

I'm a few hours into it now, and it is nothing short of incredible. It's not as creepy/scary as I thought it would be (which is just fine for me). The "easy" setting is actually quite easy (I am turned off if a game is too challenging). The graphics and sound are good, but it's the gameplay that sets it apart. Weapons and level design are some of the best I've ever seen (although I'm still partial to HL2). And no further problems or crashes to report, it runs perfectly smooth on my machine at 1280x1024.
There is so much I want to say, but I suck at writing reviews, and I don't want to spoil anything for anyone else. This game is absolutely worth $50.

My dad picked it up for the 360 for him to play and he loves it. He went into day and the guy at gamestop gave him someone's reserved copy cause the dude knew for a fact the guy wasn't coming in and since my dad asked if they had it they gave it to him. So he got the only copy lol

Simply. Awesome. Best game I've played in ages, I am so glad I upgraded my pc recently. If you are playing, try not to read any spoilers, because there are some really cool surprises and twists.

The ending was disappointing (I went for the "good" one first), but it was still a great game. I would not have given it a 10/10, though.
