I just finished Bioshock. I took a hard weekend to do it. Being a CPA, its hard to fork over a whole weekend of responsibilities.....
The game pulls pieces from a whole lot of shooters, it is in many ways highly derivative, yet a hell of a lot of fun. Plus, I am going to replay it again for a different ending scene- this has to show it has hooks. I especially liked the Cirque du Soleil homage. And the gothic landscapes - my favorite. So what if I am finally in the center demographic for a game, better that than football ads!
Additionally, I couldn't get any sort of decent level of graphics out of my 7800 GT (with beta drivers), and I upgraded memory and to a XI-Fi soundcard (realtek made no difference). High textures crashed. Period. Despite this, I was hooked.
What did you all think?
