You’ve played 3D shooters for the longest time. Your accomplished games are worth around 10 years of action from Unreal Tournament, all those Jedi Knight titles, F.E.A.R., Doom 3, No One Lives Forever 2, Halo 1 and 2, and Duke Nukem, among a few.
Sure, you may have felt a little sick when you played […]

That’s correct. You may be having the time of your life in Rapture, but let’s not forget its spiritual predecessor—the space horror game titled System Shock 2. Granted that SS2 is the sequel to the ancient System Shock, but I’m here to promote my retro review on the former.
SS2 is just plain fantastic. While […]

Yes, you read right. I finally have a personal copy of Bioshock, and have the scars to prove it.
After a lot of waiting, I’ve finally gotten a taste of Rapture. Other than the fact that Bioshock is currently a hot game (despite the crazy buzz generated by Halo 3), I’m going to make the […]

Clifford Bleszinski, Epic Games’ superstar designer, loves Bioshock. Cliffy B. loves it so much that he considers it his game of the year. Not Halo 3 (which isn’t out yet as of this writing), not Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, or whatever AAA title that’s set to come out late 2007.
The designer then proceeds to […]

I made this entry away from my gaming rig, which by the way, is back. While it was away, I took the time to prepare my aging beast for one more major challenge: Bioshock.Yes, Bioshock has belatedly made its way in our shores, and later still was my PC upgrade to finally run the game […]

My video card gave out sometime last week, so I’m left without a gaming machine/workstation/best friend. Before it gave out, I was furiously working on Doom III, which I love immensely.
Yes, the monster placements may feel a bit cheap at times, but I’d rather be surprised than face a couple of minions from hell that […]

Why, you ask? Aren’t developers supposed to play other companies’ games if they want to make good games of their own? Of course. Just ask any marquee developer, and they’ll tell you that they play other makers’ games.
But when your office is stuck in crunch time because your team is feverishly working on a […]

Here’s more Bioshock stuff to download. The original score to Bioshock was released as a free download on The Cult of Rapture. The score was created by film, TV, and video game composer Garry Schyman.
Never heard of him, you say?
Garry composed for Destroy All Humans! and Voyeur, that old game for the Philips […]

As far as we know, Bioshock is built for two systems: the PC and Xbox 360. All this talk about the demo code is unconfirmed, so we’ll stay away from vaporware. Ever wondered what the difference is between the PC and 360 versions? Watch the video and see for yourself.
Judging from the video, […]

I haven’t played Bioshock myself. Aside from the physical barrier of not being able to get a copy because it’s not out yet, my PC’s limitations (despite its still-decent ability) might force me a premature upgrade before I truly get to enjoy this new FPS.
The worst part? According to a few game journalists who […]
