If you two love BioShock 1 & 2, you're going to love Infinite!

can't wait 'till it's released...

I can't wait. I like the quasi American history aspect of the games. Art deco is one of my favorite modern art movements, so Bioshock hit right on, but I also like the steam generation. I'm all about anything old, so being able to walk around an approximation is good exercise for my brain :^)

Yah i've got it. I only payed the first few levels though it gets too repetitive. I didn't even know there was a multiplayer lol.

You should give it a go sometime, it's pretty fun.

My favorite types are "Capture the Babe" and "Hail to the King". CTB is pretty much the same as CTF (except the flags are babes). HTTK is a "King of the Hill" style game.

Which platform did you get the game for? Windows? Xbox?

I scored a great package deal on Bioshock and Bioshock 2 during Steam's summer sale, and have been playing the heck out of them recently. I'm not really a big fan of FPS-style games -- they always seem to be so one-dimensional -- but I've been enjoying the graphic design. Nothing says elegant squalor like decaying Art Deco. :-)

Those are two of my all time favorite games, largely for the atmosphere, and art content. I paid extra at release for the deluxe editions, and aside from the DRM, I'm completely happy with the amount I paid :^)

I've been playing a lot of Duke Nukem Forever lately. I'm level 41 on multiplayer (cap is 42), and I have 70-some MP challenges left to complete.

Does anyone else here own Duke 4?

I can only do fps on console....childhood wrist injury ruined my ability to be accurate with a mouse....I really have been enjoying the shit out of the civilization games as of recently, I can't believe I had never heard of them until recently, It's like playing the board game RISK but instead of taking 12 hours it takes more like 12 days.

Damn that's a shame, yeah the Civilization games are great, still haven't tried the new Civ tho, better get my hands on that one!

Despite the plot twists, the storylines are still fairly predictable to anyone who has been fed on a diet of suspense novels/films. But I really like how the writers keep driving home the point that blind faith in any ideology (Capitalism/Objectivism in the first game, Socialism in the second) leads to disaster. Tactically, the most interesting part is in the second game: setting traps for the Splicers prior to letting a Little Sister collect provides some head-scratching challenges.

I likely would have felt a little disappointment had I paid full price for these games, but they made excellent bargain bin choices. Fire up that rivet gun, I'm goin' Splicer huntin'!

You guys should try Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad. Great FPS.

Yeah i remember a few years ago when i had to pick one up for temporary use and some asshat as Best Buy (U.S. electronic store) tried to tell me that the official microsoft one somehow picked up a wireless signal better......the same guy that tries to sell you the 100 dollar hdmi cables that are the same as the 7 dollar ones on amazon with a different sticker on the front
