Well, i just got my copy of Bioshock for the 360 today at target. Ive only gotten about an hour into the game. I just want to know what your thoughts are on the game :). So far it has very fluid graphics, it has just the right amount of "zombieness" to it to make it scary, and the plasmid upgrades are awesome!

Also, Two worlds came out today 8/23/07, and i dont have it yet, but i want to hear from you all if you have played it. Is it worth getting? Because i love RPG's!

I just want all of your feedback on the game(s)!!

the game does wonders creating a truly haunting atmosphere, as the random sound blurbs and art direction just adds the haunted nostalgia feel, and probably doesn't work on everyone. The biggest plus though, is the truly haunting atmosphere that is claustrophobia... being stuck in the watery depths is one thing, but actually making it truly feel as if you are stuck and doomed down there.. well thats quite different. It's hard to capture that feeling in games sometimes.
No wonder its getting such high praises (btw, only played demo, once on 360, once on PC.. and should have it tomorrow for PC).

I'm loving it. I haven't gotten much farther than were the demo left off because of time constraints the last two days...but I can't wait to get some more time with it. Great game so far.

I can't find telekinesis, but I was tired and probably missed something. Freaking awesome game though.

If you look at the map, you will see a map key or legend with a head icon. There are two. One leads to the middle of the map, where you crouch down through a vent and find a broken one.
The second is on the far left of the map, and is working.

I MIGHT have this game waiting for me in the mail when I get home. I sure as hell hope so. If not, I'll have it in time for the weekend :)

Anyone know approximately how long this game takes to beat? I hope it's not extemely short like Gears was.

Reviews I've read have said 20-25 hours

With alot of replayability for a single player it seems because of all the different strats and body mods you can use. As fun as it is I'm sure *I'll play through it a few times in different ways.

I have been playing it for about that past 3 hours today and it is so much fun! My last plasmid upgrade i got was to manipulate a Big Daddy! But im about 5 hours in the game and i really hope it takes another 15-20hours! This game is freaking awesome!!

I was hooked last night! I finally had to quit after playing through the medical ward. The splicers in there actually fall back and heal themselves before coming back for more! BTW combining plasmids (ie pyro and psychokenesis) is freakin fun. I was able to toss burning oxygen tanks at a couple enemies!

Can't wait to get back to it. :D

Two Worlds isn't technically released until tomorrow. They pushed it back a week (was originally scheduled for the 14th), then they pushed it back another 3 days. Production issues is what I'm guessing.

Damn you guys, you're making me want to buy it, and I don't even really like FPSes! I played the demo, and I enjoyed it.

Get it. A friend came over last night, and both had our crack at it. He typically doesn't like FPS's with the exception of Halo.
We didn't put it down until we were 3 hours into. We did explore every part of the level we could.
There is also a fun hacking minigame that is like rapid puzzle solving. My friend really loved that part too.

Yup, I got it. Ammo and Eve don't seem to be terribly easy to come by. I found a bunch in the beginning of the game, but I've been using it sparingly and it's still getting low.

Here's the only way I can describe bioshock....

Once there was a game that was so good, so mesmerizing, so incredible that I stayed up until 6 am the night I got it because I could NOT PUT IT DOWN. I called in sick to work which I never do.

That game was half-life, and it's the only game that has ever had that effect. Until now.

It really is THAT good.

I don't play a lot of games now a days. Maybe 3 hours a week total.

If you like games and have a 360, you will go out and buy bioshock tomorrow. The hype is justified.
