Shipping this week: rapturous edition


Well kiddies, it's finally here. BioShock will officially hit store shelves tomorrow. Now everyone will be able to share in the joy of the lucky few who nabbed the game early at Toys R' Us (or the lucky four that won it from us -- yes, the giveaway is over, by the way). So, go out and buy it already! Don't forget that you can get it on the cheap if you know where to look. Also of interest, Two Worlds is finally shipping this week, though most advertisements list it as being available this Friday, so you may not be seeing it in your local stores on Tuesday.

Now, if only we could find an honest review of BioShock, we'd be set.

1. Bioshock...meh. Can't wait for Halo 3, Mass Effect, Ace Combat 6 and PGR4. I'll even have enough money for them when they come out!

2. I've been back and forth deciding whether or now I should buy this game. I'm more of a multiplayer type of a gamer, so I'll probably just rent it. Though I'm not taking anything from the game, I'm sure it's going to be an excellent title. But multiplayer games last a little bit longer for me. (I'm not into getting every single achievemnt, etc.)

3. Did you guys download the demo? I have no doubt that Bioshock is going to be the smartest game ever released on a console.

4. I can not wait for this game... I'm planning on playing through it and getting as many of the realistic achievments as possible and even helping my girl through it if she asks... I love halo and can't wait for 3... but honestly... I dunno. After I play both games through I'll decide which would get my vote or GOTY... Although... Assassins Creed looks pretty sweet too... oh the pain in the wallet....

5. So are you guys really not gonna tell us what the winning comments were? of course not! what am i talking about, that would make absolute sense!

Posted at 3:42PM on Aug 20th 2007 by Mauricio

6. Whatever. Im getting the collectors edition tomorrow as soon as the gamestop I have it reserved at gets it. Multiplayer wouldn't really work for this type of game with the game play and setting and all that. ZOMG cant wait!

7. blockbuster 1 week rental. $12.99
late fees. : $0.00
game finished and returned within 45 days
restocking fee: $1.75.

not wasting $69.99 on a single-player only-game: priceless.

8. damn, i hate the day before a good game release. what could possibly entertain me today when bioshock is coming out tomorrow?

Posted at 3:45PM on Aug 20th 2007 by footlong!

9. Intentles, how old is your kid? If shes not at least 17, I would highly consider rethinking letting her play it, unless you want her to be waking you up from nightmares and want her exposed to the gore and all, But, thats just me

Posted at 3:47PM on Aug 20th 2007 by Trashman

10. Oh and posting that Bioshock review was absolute genius.

Posted at 3:48PM on Aug 20th 2007 by DjDATZ

11. @9
I could be wrong, but when he said "my girl" i think he meant a girlfriend.. not a child.. either way, i agree that should be at least 17.

Posted at 3:49PM on Aug 20th 2007 by footlong!

12. when he said "his girl" I read it as "his girlfriend" ...

not sure tho.

(doubt someone would let their little girl play Bioshock, wouldn't want them turning into a Little Sister, would he =)

Posted at 3:49PM on Aug 20th 2007 by xenocidic

13. aww come on trashman. if i had a kid id buy it for them if they were 13 (a "mature" 13 though, whatever that means). but probably not younger.

Posted at 3:49PM on Aug 20th 2007 by Mauricio

14. @7
How does that work if you get a 7 day rental and return it 45 days later the charge is only $1.75? Is there a type-o in there somewhere?

Posted at 3:50PM on Aug 20th 2007 by Trogdor

15. Trashman, Intentless was talking about his "woman" not his daughter.

Posted at 3:50PM on Aug 20th 2007 by DjDATZ

16. All you guys that are renting it are seriously going to want buy it when you play through it. Why wouldn't you want to buy it? Im gonna be playing the hell out of this game till halo 3. I only rent games for achievements cause Im a achievement whore ;)

Posted at 3:51PM on Aug 20th 2007 by Trashman

Blockbuster's no late fees policy.

Posted at 3:52PM on Aug 20th 2007 by DjDATZ

18. Ah. That makes sense, DjDATZ. Didn't consider that. Not being a smart ass, btw

Posted at 3:53PM on Aug 20th 2007 by Trashman

19. Two Worlds finally!!! I can't believe it

Posted at 3:54PM on Aug 20th 2007 by poprocker

20. After 30 days of having the game, I believe they make you buy the game. Not 100% sure though
