With the insane list of games coming out, what are you getting?

Penny-arcade advertised the hell out of it so I figured I\'d give it a shot.  Got the PC version and had a lot of fun with it but it just kind of died out and I never picked up again.  The story is quite short but there are a number of "hidden" powerups to find although its not all terribly difficult to find them.  The main replayability factor for me was the fact you can play good or evil, which sounds strange seeing as you\'re supposed to be evil.

Good?
Why would you play good? I\'m called OVERLORD, for christ\'s sake. In fact, I am "Overlord Beavis".

I had a tad more playtime with the full version on the 360 and I have to stay, it didn\'t live up to what I had expected from the demo.  Think I\'ll spend my money on \'Overlord\', which appears to be the sleeper hit of \'07.

it\'s funny because i was really not too impressed by the demo. It was good, but not mindblowingly fun er nothing. But im having a blast with the full game. Has a few parts that scared the crap outta me, to awesome parts of 2 big daddies kicking eachothers asses.

I played as good the second time.  I burned everything to the ground the first play around.

I thought maybe I was crazy, but I looked up some reviews and the PC version is better control and graphics wise.

Any difference in the good or evil? Ending? Anything worth noting? As of right now, I am burning everything to the ground.

there are several small clips at the end that are dictated by what you do in the game, other than that, not really. Although  I wasn\'t 100% good or evil either time, there probably is something you get for it but i\'m not that dedicated to doing it.

Yeah, usually my PC will make any game look a lot better than its 360 counterpart and I couldn\'t imagine controlling the minions with a mouse.  Especially when you are doing multiple commands later on in the game when you have all 4 types of minions.

My only complaint so far is the lack of a map. Other than that, I think the game is damn near perfect. Sure, it\'s linear, but it\'s just damn fun.  

` - All
1- Brown
2- Red
So on and so on.

Left mouse button sends to attack.
Right mouse button calls back.
Both mouse buttons let you sweep.

Looks like if you want Bioshock, 360 is only way to go.

Gamespot Editor boycotts Bioshock for the PC due to NUMEROUS issues.

most of those complaints are just there to bitch. Only legitimate ones are 1 and 4. and even 4 isn\'t THAT bad...i didnt get cancer from them not telling me DRM was installed. Reason 1 is the only one that matters, because I install old games all the time too, but Im hoping/anticipating a fix down the road when pirating the game isn\'t a concern (since it\'d be old and probably pirated).

Really not as big of a deal as people think. Granted there was more bs than if i just got the 360 version, but people overreact.

I\'ll still be getting it for PC. Even tho I don\'t even own a 360.. But if I still did I am pretty positive that I would still get it for the PC. With the exception of the Halo franchise, FPS\'s on consoles have always felt weird to me.

I disagree.

The SecurRom should not be installed.
The two time install rule should not be around .
The botched W/S support needs fixed.
There is almost NO difference in DirecX9 and DirecX10 version.

There is a ton of problems with Bioshock on the PC.   If it was just one problme, then I would say it is over-reacting, when it is this many problems for one product, then the outrage is justified.

We have been reading and listening to your frustrations over SecuROM, PC activation problems, and technical support issues since BioShock launched on Tuesday, and we\'ve devised a plan to help.

Starting immediately, we will be upping the activation count to a 5 by 5 plan. We will be raising the maximum amount of computers a user can have BioShock installed on simultaneously from 2 to 5, and allowing a user to reinstall BioShock on each of those computers from 3 times to 5 times. Also, we have in the works a revoke tool which you will be able to run on your machine if you want to free up that key and move it to to another computer (this works very much like Steam or iTunes system). We are also working with SecuROM and 2K customer service, so that when you do need to call in support problems, you get answers to your questions faster, without much waiting or being bounced around. SecuROM has been given much more autonomy to help fix your problems quickly and effectively. I am personally sorry for anyone who got bounced around in the past couple days (I even think I contributed to this problem) and we\'re going to make sure that does not happen in the future. As for other technical issues, we are bringing on a team of tech support that will be on the 2K forums 24/7 to help people resolve their technical issues. Our QA guys are in the offices and on the forums, too, reproducing issues and looking for workarounds and compiling information that they can put towards making you a patch and updating the knowledge base.

Also, we are aware that our activation server went down last night, stopping some of you from finishing your installs. The server is up and running now and we have corrected the problem that caused that crash.

Finally, we have released a FAQ, which you can view in full below (and will also be posted on the 2K Forums in the Technical Support area) that will help clear up a lot of questions and misinformation that has been floating around about SecuROM and PC activation.

And as for widescreen, we also want to say we completely understand a user\'s desire to augment their FOV. BioShock is a harrowing experience, but we don\'t want anyone to feel limited (or motion sick!). So we are in the process of working on an official PC patch to give widescreen PC users a choice to expand their horizontal FOV, and are investigating creating a similar update for the 360.

Maybe I\'m naive but I personally don\'t really care, most of these problems will be fixed well before I have a PC to run the game on.

All stuff that should of been worked out before release. It\'s sad that a game can be released in such a state.

I found the only honest Bioshock review,  one not tampered by hype or Microsoft cash.  I see it as my duty to warn 360 owners and post the review here

5/10 (XBOX 360)

I\'m sure the PC version is much better.  And the best version will be the PS3 version when it comes out
