That's the beauty of extended warranties.

To get back on topic, Alternative Press Magazine and OXM UK have both given Bioschock 10s.

According to GamePro Magazine (got this month's issue today :))...Bioshock is slated for release on 8/21/2007.

Just a note. ;)

It got a pretty good review by GamePro and a spot as one of the 12 games that "break all the rules" (innovative games, in other words :)).

Trust me, I know when the game is being released. :D

What were the other 11 games? I assume Assasin's Creed, Mass Effect, Fable 2, and Rage are four of them.

I guess I confused innovation with fanboyism. Take care of that and Prime 3, Halo 3, and MGS 4 go right off the list. Of all the games mentioned, Spore hands-down kills the rest for innovation in my book.

Fanboyism is how those game magazines usually work. :)

I agree though, Spore is one of the most innovative games I've ever seen.

For those of you who have a 360 and a Live ccount, the Bioshock demo is now available on the Marketplace. I haven't played it because I'm a techno have-not and I lack a high speed internet connection.

Avoid GameFAQ message boards. I had the end spoiled for me which really ticked me off. I hope SSeed gets punched in the teeth and then swallows his teeth.

As of right now, there is only one PC review up and that is a 95% from PC Gamer UK.

Oh, and I think there are multiple endings, so not everything is ruined for me. That's assuming the spoiler wasn't acccurate to begin with.
