Yeah I'm looking forward to it. However, I can't really afford to purchase any games with being unemployed and only have a few hundred pounds to last me until a new job. Which I must admit is going pretty slowly. I haven't been able to find any Technician work as I live so rurally and the nearest cities don't seem to have anything. I don't want to work in retail again. :(

I'm with BigJunit here. Looks great, but not sure about gameplay yet. I'll download a "demo", and if I like it, I'll buy it. If not, I'll just delete it.

Are you working now? I don't need to buy anything for my rig - I'll be spending a lil on bits so that I start watercooling my Shuttle. :rockout: However, I need to pay bills which £380 isn't really going to cover - especially if I buy Bioshock as well. If you know of an IT job, please tell me. ;)

Im working, but only a crappy job helping out a friend who's a shopfitter, ive not done any IT work in a few years now, i hated it, i'd love to work in IT if i was building cool rigs or something, but it never was, it was always helping grannies get their printer working etc

I can't wait. Haven't been this excited since Halo 2 (yes you can all hate me if you like). At the very least it will hold me over until Halo 3, at which point I wont be seeing the sun for 5 days or so... I'm getting it on PC. I could download and play it now on 360, but I'd rather play it on PC - and I already pre-oredered on play.com...

I read that first bit as shoplifter. :laugh:

As for the helping grannies with their printers I do that for free. :shadedshu Still, if I can get a job soon I'll be able to afford it.

Bioshock kinda looks like the old Psi-ops Game from Midway for the PS2. I just hope it's a lot better!

Im currently going through it on the 360 and all I can say is "its a f*cking mental game!"

But it does :rockout:

I should think the PC version will be great aswell ;)

PS: The Big Daddys and Little Sisters are f*cking creepy!



PPS: will you be harvesting the Little Sisters or rescueing them? Choose wisely ;)

PPPS: Namslas90, BioShock is nothing like Psi-Ops ;)

They should remake Blood - that game was cool! I know they made F.E.A.R. but that just wasn't as good in my opinion. If they remade Blood with an enhanced F.E.A.R. engine and keep it exactly as they did just with better GFX, that'd be the best game ever! :D
