"BioShock received numerous Game of the Year awards during 2007 and was hailed for, among other things, its rich visual detail and Art Deco style. Set in an underworld utopia gone wrong, the creepy shooter really struck a chord with reviewers, earning the Xbox 360 version of the title a MetaCritic rating of 96. It has sold more than 2 million units worldwide since releasing in August 2007 and a sequel is planned for release in 2009."

"Award-winning videogame "Bioshock" is to be turned into a movie by "Pirates of the Caribbean" director Gore Verbinski, entertainment industry media reported Friday.

The film is set to be the highest profile adaptation of a videogame since 2005, when Fox paid Microsoft five million dollars for rights to make "Halo," a project now scrapped, Variety reported.

"Bioshock" is set in a futuristic underwater city called Rapture which has spiralled into anarchy.

"A PlayStation 3 version of 2K Boston and 2K Australia's story-driven underwater shooter BioShock will arrive this September, assuming rumors printed within the June issue of EGM are true.

According to the magazine and proven NeoGAF proxy SuperSonic 1305, the PlayStation 3 port will pack improved visuals over the previous PC and Xbox 360 editions along with the previously-released free downloadable content.

With the special edition of the 360 version of Bioshock came a collectable figure of a Big Daddy. Disappointed with the quality, Schwerpunkt Studios, headed by a 23 year old male Aussie with a major in Bachelor of Arts has re-painted the Big Daddy to look..well, a bit more slick than the original.

Modding the figure required the mutilation disassembly by removing each piece at their associated joints, arms, legs and so forth. He goes over which paints he used and a slight step by step proc...

"The Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 have brought HD gaming into the mainstream. After years of High-Def in the living room being a hazy concept that really only affected A/V aficionados, the more technologically inclined, and the affluent, these videogame machines have made HD Gaming as simple and affordable as “plug n’ play.” But as with any consumer device, the hardware, for all its potential, is just that — untapped potential. What really brings out the true worth of the machine is the soft..."

"Rumors of 2K's award-winning FPS, Bioshock, appearing on the PlayStation 3 have died out...only to be replaced by rumors of the sequel coming to Sony's console. We've heard in the past that Microsoft may have dumped a big chunk of change to keep the series exclusive to the Xbox 360, but recent evidence may indicate a multi-console release for Bioshock 2.

Officially, no platforms have been announced by newly formed development house 2K Marin for the sequel, and that only adds fuel to the fi..."

2007's huge hitter, Bioshock has even garnered attention from even the larger news companies. MSNBC interviewed creator of Bioshock, Ken Levine, and asked the question "What do you play when you're not working?". This gives us a nice perspective on the face behind the game.

Levine's list comprises of:

1. Civilization IV
   
2. World of Warcraft
   
3. Heroes of Might and Magic 2
   
4. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
   
5. Beyond Good and Evil
   

"The 2K Marin job listing, published to Gamasutra, seeks a "Senior BioShock 2 Designer" with five years of experience across "PlayStation 3, Xbox, and Wii" platforms.

More convincing evidence in the case of at least a PS3 version of BioShock 2 is found under job qualifications: "PlayStation 3 experience is required.""

"Take-Two announced today that 2K Marin is working on a sequel to BioShock, and that it is set for a fourth-quarter fiscal 2009 release, placing it around October.

In a conference call to its investors, Ben Feder, CEO of Take-Two, stated that despite the studio change, Ken Levine will still “be working on BioShock 2, and he will be working on a new IP. A lot of the work will be done at 2K Marin, but that’s not to say that Ken will not be involved.” Hmm, this sounds like Ken may be focused m..."

What can only be described as one of 2007's top games, Bioshock is available through Valve's online community/store service, Steam. A lowered price is now set at $29.95 USD.

Unfortunately with Steam downloads you will not get a physical version of the game which you can hold in your hands, it will only be available through Steam as a download. Expect roughly an 8GB download.

As a bonus Valve is offering "Bioshock: Breaking The Mold" for download (pdf) which is an art book on the game.

"Bioshock
This atmospheric first-person shooter game drew players in to a unique dystopian setting and broke ground with a storyline that forced players to make moral decisions.

"According to joystiq.com, "The studio hopes to bring the fallen aquatic utopia of Rapture to celluloid life through extensive use of green screen technology, an approach not dissimilar to Legendary Pictures' interpretation of 300. If the computer generated approach is deemed feasible and fitting, the focus can then shift to capturing BioShock's secondary (and uninhabited) characters."

"The coveted award was bestowed upon the ambitious pseudo-RPG shooter by G4 TV’s "X-Play" videogame channel during its "Best of 2007" awards broadcast. The critically acclaimed underwater epic led the evening’s deserving recipients by also securing "Best Art Direction," "Best Writing," and "Best Original Soundtrack.""

"Before getting into Maxim’s top-ten selection, it is worth bearing in mind that its expertise and coverage in the world of gaming is marginal when compared to the print space it reserves for scantily clad female celebrities. Indeed, while you probably wouldn’t rely on FHM for movie reviews over the likes of Empire or Premiere, you shouldn’t place too much stock in Maxim when it comes to gaming – especially if it’s sitting next to Edge Magazine on the shelf."

"Now, far be it from me to disagree with Time...I have to call shenanigans on a few things here. First: Halo 3, while a great game, is not as good as BioShock. Halo 3 is still plagued by problems seen in previous games where both level design and gameplay are concerned. BioShock, on the other hand, was a superb gaming experience and should have easily been the top of the bunch on the list."

"Features presently appearing on Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 exclusive include a selection of new Plasmid upgrades and Tonic abilities, along with new Achievements and fresh interface enhancements.

The Xbox Live download, which is completely free, will also arrive as part of a special patch for those players enjoying the devastated city of Rapture on the PC format."

"Make no mistake about it, BioShock is a candidate for top game of the year. However, it’s a shooter that doesn’t hold have much replay value unless you’re firm on collecting all the achievements available in the game. There’s no multiplayer featured, so once you’ve completed the game all you can basically do is play it over. For some owners of the title, they relish in the opportunity to play it over again. For others, they might need a little extra incentive to pop the game back into their c..."

"This month, an old rumor resurfaces in a new form, as BioShock is apparently back on for PlayStation 3. Previously, it'd been speculated that Microsoft tied up 2K Games' aquatic adventure as an exclusive, but there's a change in the tide, as the world of Rapture may be Cell-enabled in 2008, after all.

Two, the lackluster performance of Sonic the Hedgehog hasn't deterred Sega; they're already hard at work at another "real" Sonic game. 2D, please!"

"I can’t imagine anyone keeping the thing on all the way through the night without constantly knocking things over but this is something to own simply because of the coolness factor."

• Is digital delivery the new hope for PC gaming? GameTap's looking good!"

"Well, I have to disagree on this one. I think one of the reasons that Bioshock was so highly regarded and had such a well thought out single player campaign is because it was single player only, without the distraction of a multiplayer mode taking away from the game. And Irrational/2K Boston has some history with adding multiplayer support in its games and it is interesting for those that may be unaware."

"I know I'm asking for trouble here, but BioShock is not a ten out of ten game. Having completed it, I'm thinking it's more of a seven. maybe an eight. Yes, it looks amazing, yes, the voice acting is some of the best ever, yes, the 1950s aesthetic works a treat, and yes, the weaponry does allow for some sandbox experimentation."

"Nintendo's flagship shooter Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has debuted in the States with a bang, taking the top sales spot in the all-format chart and even outselling 2K's awesome Bioshock in its first week.

Metroid managed to shift over 400,000 copies in total, which must be big news for developers ogling at Nintendo's console and proves that traditional "hardcore" games can still sell on the home of Wii Sports and Cooking Mama.

With Wii releases thin on the ground, Metroid's unlikely to..."

With the recent SecuRom blunders regarding the PC version of the game BioShock, another outrage was created today as a member came to the official 2K forums asking if he would be using two of his five activations of BioShock, if he were to sign into another account and enter the serial number when asked for it.

"Rather than marginalize gaming as a weapon of mass destruction, the article accurately describes the gameplay in which players decide if they want to terminate the "Little Sisters" for maximum strength, or rescuing the little boogers for only half the "serum.""

"Then there is the lingering question of the rumored PS3 version of BioShock found in the PC code. Levine responds quite clearly, "I promise you, there is no secret plan about the PS3 that we're keeping from people. There's no PS3 development going on that we're hiding. There's lots of stuff that gets into game code, plans change over time and we got an exclusive deal with Microsoft ... that's not a Rosetta Stone discovery.""

"A new patch is being developed to fix this problem on PCs, so that gamers will see more and not less. According to lead programmer Chris Kline on the 2K Forum site, “The game will render in full 16:9 aspect ratio, with no letterboxing unless your resolution is not true 16:9…. You will see more in widescreen. We use a different projection matrix; there is no squashing or stretching of the image involved.”"

"Nothing, however, is as huge or important as the release of Halo 3 this September. The trilogy capper to one of the most successful videogaming franchises of all time is almost guaranteed commercial success. Okay, okay, it is guaranteed. But just because Halo 3 will be the biggest seller doesn't mean it will be the best game this holiday... or even the best shooter. That honor could go to BioShock."

"When asked if BioShock would be coming to PS3, our contact informed us that we'd be wrong to think the game wouldn't be released on Sony's console at a later date."

A user by the name of Paddywak posted on the 2k forums mentioning a graphics bug when playing BioShock on a wide screen resolution. This problem occurs on both versions of the game (XBOX 360 and PC).

As you can see in the image the red lines are the areas viewed (or loss of view) when playing in wide screen. Now, this is unsure of if it's the demo versions only (PC demo version only for sure) but was it the leaked copy 360 versions or the demo? Hopefully 2k can fix this issue and put out ...

"Old JT isn’t terribly chuffed that the BioShock commercial in question (link at the end of this article) is for an M-rated game, and yet is being shown during a programme which may have people under 18 years of age in its audience. To which we have only one thing to say: BioShock is out in the US on 21 August, and in Europe and Australia on 24 August. So long as you’re the right age, you’ll probably want to get it, as it looks tremendous."

While you're waiting for BioShock on the PC (assuming you didn't already run off with an early Xbox 360 copy from a certain toy retailer), you'll soon have to option of downloading the game directly from Valve's Steam digital distribution service come August 21st. The game is already available on Steam for pre-order for $49.95 USD, so if you're not willing to head to retail for a boxed copy you can secure a direct download on launch day instead.

"Without further ado, here’s a gathered peek at what the critics are saying about BioShock. To be perfectly honest, the scores and comments you’re about to see are, well, unprecedented.

They are also likely to exist as a truly monumental yardstick of quality that almost all succeeding FPS offerings (regardless of host platform) are going to struggle to reach, let alone surpass."

"That’s right! Toys ‘R Us has broken BioShock’s street date of August 21st. A member over at the NeoGAF forums casually walked into the store and purchased the game along with an Xbox 360 Elite and Madden 2008. He isn’t the only one who has purchased a copy early, as other members soon checked their local Toys ‘R Us stores to get their lucky little hands on the game. Even worse, various Gamertag’s have sprung up with players who are currently playing the game and have already unlocked achievem..."

But with a game as beautiful as BioShock, that just didn’t sit right with me. Because everyone should be able to experience the beauty of BioShock, see the concept art and visualize the evolution of building such a revolutio..."

""This sort of attitude really pissed me off. System Shock II, for all its critical success, didn't sell very well which turned buyers off. Something I realised very quickly was that as much as your boss won't ever know that you turned down a future game of the year, he will know that you signed up a turkey. You don't get fired for not taking risks. That kind of mentality is driving the industry into a creative cul de sac.""

Speculation has suggested that the PS3 version is to be announced or perhaps a less exciting announcement of downloadable content is to be unleashed."

The delay that has made many fans upset and angry, has also been a saviour for some game developers that no longer have GTAIV to compete with for christmas. Which will obviously mean that they will have more reason to release it before then, and will most likely be getting more notice from you than if GTAIV had released.
