Well folks - here we are a couple months after Bioshock has arrived, and it's been very quiet regarding that game. just wanted to say...

I TOLD YOU SO!

Youv'e all had a chance to play it, and have found - among other things - that you CANNOT get al of the upgrades; that thereare only 2 endings; that no matter what you do, you can't "max out" or powerbuild your character; that there isn't anything to cheat or glitch in the game; basically, you have found that the game is a one to two play game with no "ex-game" options. It's undoubtably collecting dust on your shelf, while you are gearing up for the next big thing (Crysis or whatever)... Bioshock is now a forgotten memory.

While I may install some sort of Doom (original Doom games, not the over-the-top newer one) games and fire it up old ****- I will never have a hankering to replay 99% of these new games (like Bioshock). Number one reason being that Bishock was too linear. Doom (DOOM, Doom II: Hell on Earth, Final Doom, Ultimate Doom) required that you finish levels - but you never felt "locked into a story" like Doom 3 - and Bioshock. At least you knew that in advance with Doom 3 - with Bioshock the whole hype machine had people thinking it was going to be "free roaming". What a rip!

In any case - who cares, it had it's 15 minutes and now its over. The only thing that will resurface interest in Bioshock is an expansion - and currently that seems to be "out of vogue" with publishers - so pray on for that one.
