BioShock demo - HoagieOfDoom - 08-15-2007

If there is one game you play this year, for the love of all that is holy, play BioShock. The demo came out for X360 a night or two ago and it is HOLY SHIT awesome. Looking forward to the PC demo to see how it runs on my hardware.*********

I am *most* irritated that the PC demo isn't out yet. But, I will give them props for probably the best console FPS controls ever.--

PC Demo should be out soonish - they claim by this weekend.
In happier news, the game is now being sold on Steam. Whoohoo for no useless box/media!--

Media is NEVER useless.
Even those gazlillion AOHELL disks have uses... Mostly as flash nuked coasters.
Or throwing disks...

Let me see:
Box:
Pros
.Paper Manual
.Possible Extras
.Hard Copy
Cons
.Need to find CD to play game
.Box takes up space
.Down the line, CD copy is woefully out of daye
.Possible 1-2 day wait on game
Steam:
Pros
.No need for CD
.Can play on any computer I have Steam installed on
.Automatically updated
.Can play first minute of release day
Cons
.No physical media (can be overcome)
.No paper manual (can be overcome)
.No extras (which I throw out anyway)
