Further details on BioShock's PS3 debut revealed

Not the actual cover art I still play BioShock during the day with all the lights on. It’s a freaky game that continues to make my heart beat like mad. As a 360 owner I can brag to my friends who own a PS3 that MS’s console has at least two exclusive titles that blow anything the Sony platform has to offer. That number will soon dwindle down to one and leave Gears of War to stand alone… → Read More

BioShock for PS3 confirmed

There aren’t exactly any details at the moment to back up this claim, but the UK’s Playstation magazine, PSM3, is promising an in-depth preview along with screenshots according to CVG. No word on when the popular Take-Two title will be available for the Sony platform, but, as usual, we’ll keep a lookout for you PS3 fanboys. → Read More

Hell yes: Gore Verbinski to direct Bioshock movie

Basically, I’m just glad that Uwe Boll didn’t get it. The director of Pirates of the Caribbean, among other films, has been signed on to direct the Bioshock movie, and will be working with John Logan, who wrote “Gladiator” and adapted “Sweeney Todd.” These are good choices because the director is familiar with spectacle and effects and likely has people in place… → Read More

CrunchArcade: Bioshock coming to PS3?

Several pieces of evidence point to an eventual port of Irrational’s magnum opus to the Playstation 3. Most compelling is the bit of code in the PC port listing PS3 settings. It’s expected to arrive in the fall, around the same time Bioshock 2 might be announced. There are murmurs of improved graphics, but I think that’s probably nonsense. Being a little behind the times, I only… → Read More

OMGOMGOMG BIOSHOCK 2 AND MAYBE MAX PAYNE X+2? WOWOWOWOWOW

Ok, maybe I’m not that excited but Take-Two/Rockstar is planning to release Bioshock 2 and another “major” sequel in 2009. Folks are postulating it will be Max Payne, which I kind of dug back in the day. How about the The Legend of Kage 2, guys. I love the trees! Massive sequel planned after GTA IV [CaVG] → Read More

Ben Heck turns Xbox 360 into laptop, again

Ben Heck can mod like a mofo, but is he a one trick pony? Don’t get me wrong. I was thoroughly impressed by his modded Xbox 360 laptop last year, but transforming an Elite into a laptop, again, is not that cool. Not that I could do it, but I think you see the point. If you want to try your hand at possibly FUBARing your Xbox then feel free to do so thanks to Ben’s thorough… → Read More

Big Daddy suit for sale on eBay

The Big Daddy suit has now come full circle. From an odd Halloween costume to a VGA-feted wonder-thing, it has been through a lot and now it’s for sale on eBay. Bidding starts at $999 but expect it to go for more than that. I hear the Society for Creative Ayn Randianisms is nosing around as is a Bay Area cosplay fetish club. Has someone been good this Christmas? Product Page → Read More

Spike Awards special guest: Big Daddy

My buddy Nathan Sharratt, the guy who made the Big Daddy/Little Sister costume with his girlfriend last Halloween just showed up on Spike TV last night, helping accept BioShock’s Best Game award. It just goes to show you that a little obsessive attention to detail and some plastic tubing can take you quite far. → Read More

An interview with Big Daddy

http://www.collegehumor.com/moogaloop/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=1788429&fullscreen=1 I actually know this guy. We used to work together. I never realized he was such a good crazed-undersea welder/Little-Sister-protector maker. Not many people are, so it’s nice to find someone with that talent. via CollegeHumor → Read More

BioShock's Science is Bunk! Bunk, I Tells Ya!

Penny Arcade is dead wrong. I asked a real live scientist (my friend Teresa) who has a Doctorate in Scientology and she said: I can’t think of anything that I involved with plasmids (the normal in-the-lab kind that I use) that involves fire or blowing things up There are a lot of things in lab that you could use to start a fire or blow things up and I can guarantee you that plasmids are not… → Read More

BioShock Review: Worth the Hype?

I rarely get excited about game titles any more — a Half-Life might get my juices flowing but I’m definitely not going to reserve copies of anything at the local GameStop — which is why I’m really interested in BioShock. It actually seems like a game I could get into, irregardless of the kid, the wife, and the 5 million deadlines looming over me. → Read More

PC Demo Of BioShock Coming Tonight

I’m with Vince on this whole BioShock thing. I don’t know anything about it, but after watching the trailers and perusing the Web for other tidbits I won’t lie when I say this is going to be an awesome game. So frigging awesome that I’m going to reinstall Bootcamp or, now that I think about it, VMWare Fusion just so I can download and play the demo tonight! It’s going… → Read More

It's Official: BioShock Cooler Than Jesus, 99-cent Burrito

The reviews are starting to trickle in and the general consensus seems to be that the highly-anticipated BioShock is a smash hit. Receiving a rare 10/10 score from both Games Radar and Game Informer. The ambiance, graphics, sound, and control seem to be flawless and I hear the gameplay isn’t half-bad either. Getting to control stuff with your hand is always a plus, not to mention uncommon in… → Read More

Bioshock Gameplay Footage Is Hot

http://www.gametrailers.com/remote_wrap.php?umid=68963 I’m not going to lie here. I know little to nothing about Bioshock except that it’s a badass-looking game coming out for the 360 and Windows. But after checking out this gameplay footage, I now have a newfound interest in the game. Talk about amazing visual effects. Watch the montage of clips played in the video you see above you. → Read More
