blitzpackage Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Just a heads up to some of those who may not have kept an eye on this game. It is being released tomorrow on x360 and PC. The reviews are in, and it looks like it's a masterpiece. It's a FPS/RPG hybrid game with excellent art direction and visuals. I'll let you be the judge, but I think I'll have to pick up a copy after playing the demo and seeing it's the highest rating given to an x360 game so far (9.7 out of 10) Review: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/813/813214p1.html BTW, xbox live has a demo up now, and the PC demo is due tonight at 7:00pm on fileplanet.com(high-end PC specs required). Also I checked here, and there was no thread specifically related to Bioshock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I watched my friend play the demo over the weekend. Makes me wanna buy an XBOX360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 i usually pass on FPS (outside of goldeneye & perfect dark for 64, & Halo series for 360) but i may give this a look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stophovr6 Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 No multi player though. That's ok. FPS should either be solely Online Multiplayer or Single player specifically. When the two gets mixed, too many features on both ends are comprimised.:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad89 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 I like the whole decision based thing. I watched a trailer and you had to either kill a little girl, or get attacked by one of those big ol guys with fishbowls on their heads. I'm sure someone will be upset about the moral aspect of it, etc. Anyway, seems good - but I don't have an extra $60 to pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitzpackage Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Oh well, I tried the PC demo to no avail. Although I meet all of the required system specs, my 256MB ATI X800XT does not support shader model 3.0(SM3) which is required to play the game. What a shame that some 128MB cards do support SM3 and they can run the game on low settings. Looks like it'll have to be the x360 version for me. I can't wait until tomorrow after work.

StillUnknown Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 i picked up the limited edition for the same price as the regular version somehow. lol won't get a chance to play it until later though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffSchmeff Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Just a heads up to whoever may be buying it: I'm not sure whether it's a DC area thing, but Circuit City has an ad listing it for $49.99. I just went to Best Buy to pick it up, and a guy looking for it also had the ad with him (they hadn't put it on the shelves yet). Best Buy price matched it, so I got it for $10 less after showing them the ad the guy had. I can't wait to play it after work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAMMIT! lol Your post just convinced me to take my broke ass out to buy this game tonight. You can't beat that price for a potential Game of the Year.
