I'm not too sure about the gun sounds, i watched a couple of video's and they seem to be way off with the sounds the guns should make. other then that it looks fun.

Are you honnestly judging a game on its gun sounds? I've fired everything up to an AR-15 and no game has ever done a bit of them justice. Is that what you really think games are about?


I second that.  Not only are no gun sounds in video games realistic, but you wouldn't want them to be.

Try firing a handgun without ear protection sometime.  Once you have recovered from that trauma, do it again, this time in an enclosed hallway.



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

 

I was waiting for crysis....but I think now is the time for a New PC.
Where the heck is the PC demo???



"..just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake"

Bioshock could wind up with a 95%+ average rating. With 8 reviews thus far, Bioshock now has a 98.9% average.

For information, it's the #1 game ALL TIME of the 3000+ games with over 5 reviews.

This game is atleast headed for the top-10 all time list, or atleast that's how it's tracking.

I SURE hope this sells well. We have the real true GOTY winner right here, and people need to know about it!



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I have been looking forward to this game more than I've looked forward to any game for a LONG time. I've felt the excitement of old, from back when I was a kid. I have high hopes for this game, I hope it doesn't disappoint!

I am going to kill someone if my 360 isn't back in time for this and I read people's reactions while playing it :(

 Lol.  I understand your pain.  Everything I wanted to play that was on my radar has been removed.  I have one singular VG goal right now and that is Bioshock.  I was all set for Halo 3 but it's not even in my mind at the moment.  I can't ever remember playing a videogame (the demo) that so affected me that I can't wait to play it again. (and again) (and again)...

On a side note, have you registered online to track it?  You can also call them and they will tell you where in the process it is.  Unfortunately, having shipped it on the 10th, it probably has another week to go before they ship it back so you are very likely going to miss opening day.  :(

 Get a used core from Gamestop.  I think you can get one for something like 189 or something.  You could also get one oiff of ebay or craigslist cheap but make sure you go local and test it out first.  When my 360 was in for repairs, I almost bought a premium off a local guy for $150 (!).   He just didn't want it... You can probably find a local deal like that on craigs list if you are in a larger area.

Are you kidding? Have you actually played the demo?  The sound quality of the game is amazing.  In the dozen or so reviews I've read (and the number of times of played it), sound is never a complaint.

This is another game that I wish I had a 360 for. Sadly I haven't upgraded my desktop in a few years so the requirements are beyond what it can do. I just had to go and buy a laptop! I probably won't get the 360 until next year sometime. I've just got too many expenses right now and not a lot of time to even play what I've got on the Wii & PS3. I spend most of my time playing DS games because they consume my soul. Plus the new Guild Wars expansion comes out at the end of the month and that's the game I've spent the most total time playing.



To cash in my CC rewards points for $300 in Circuit City gift cards to purchase a 360 or not: That is the question.
