Apparently, the release date in Italy is also the 31st. I'm willing to bet that this is the actual release date for continental Europe.

That's the date for the release of Bioshock in Portugal, Spain, and I think France, as well. I wouldn't be surprised if the 31st was the release date in all of Europe except the UK. Edit: The release date in France is, indeed, the 31st.

Zoma is now, officially, a little bastard. At least until I get the game myself.

At least Sawyer was.

Apparently, you don't really need those drivers for Bioshock, unless you have a dx10 system.

Who are the star players? And what are everyone's individual positions? I want to humble you all with my awesome footballing skills.

Tried the demo. Seems to run fine on my system with everything maxed out at 1280x960. Fraps indicates between 20 and 30 fps, though. The graphics are sweet and the ambiance seems to be genuinely scary. The gameplay seems to be mostly run&guntm with added plasmids. I guess it could be described as a more actiony System Shock 2. The faster pace kind of clashes with the scary atmosphere, though. Here's hoping the full game plays differently...

Duran Duran - A View To A Kill

The PC demo comes out tomorrow at 7 PM EST.

People are saying it will have the tin box. But i find that odd when the American CE definitely doesn't have the tin box included.

Me. Although the news that the "soundtrack" CD is actually an incredibly crappy EP with just a couple of remixes on it is making me regret that...

Oh, that's just if you haven't preordered. And just in the States. I'm still gonna get my baby...

What do you mean? I already preordered it.

Yay! My mom can't wait for the second season to begin.

I think both System Shock 2 and Deus Ex were big commercial failures.

You might stop sleeping for a while, because of it.

@Sand: System Shock 2: - It's a Survival Horror FPS - You can hack turrets to attack your enemies. - You can hack the security system so that it stops reacting to you - Your first weapon is a wrench - You can modify your weapons - If you die you are taken to a regeneration chamber instead of having to reload. Bioshock: - It's a Survival Horror FPS - You can hack bots to attack your enemies. - You can hack cameras so that they stop reacting to you - Your first weapon is a wrench - You can modify your weapons - If you die you are taken to a regeneration chamber instead of having to reload.

Since I haven't played System Shock 2 I do not have anything to compare it to. Besides from the look of it is a new IP. Its Bioshock, not System Shock 3. I don't see any reason why the two games should be comparable. Actually, the gameplay is very, very similar. I'd say in some ways it's practically the same game.

Isn't it by Joel Schumacher, the director of the wonderful Batman & Robin, and other such duds?

Pretty good, innit? Bj

Bioshock's demo is available for the XBox 360. PC gamers will have to wait...

The Smiths - Bigmouth Strikes Again I just love this song.
