^^ He heard that it really rips off from System Shock (2). I played both games and say that it doesn't. See my argument on this in the thread "Zero Punction on Bioshock".
"Apparently the only real difference are the names and setting and that's about it." Apparent from someone else's opinion? There is far more different than names and settings. That's not even a difference of opinion, it's just incorrect.
Why it thrills you that Bioshock "rips off" a game you haven't played and therefore have no reason to personally make a comparison to is beyond me. Again, you can't rip off a prequel. It's a prequel.

Prediction: Wii passes 360 in US between July - September 2008. (Wii supply will be the issue to watch, and barring any freak incidents between now and then as well.) - 6/5/08; Wow, came true even earlier. Wii is a monster.
