I got it and love it. It's pretty well optimized for my mid level 7950 GT, and almost every review on it is perfect. Very good atmosphere.

I picked it up for the 360.
Not baaad, but in my opinion, over-hyped like everything is for the 360.
If you already have some solid shooters/horrors like Prey, The Darkness, Half-Life 2, Gears of War, etc., you might want to try renting this one first.
It reminds me a bit of Doom 3 - very hyped, and somewhat pretty to look at, but has a scripted feel, and the environments get tiring after a while - after all, how many variations of underwater city are there?
I do like the audio-journal entries you find - nicely voiced, good story, and you buy into the madness of the speakers.
I rate it 6.5/10 |

| lol, Doom was SO overhyped its not even funny. Graphically, it was the best of the best at the time. One of the first (of not the first) to use an engine that advanced. As far as this game goes, I hear sort of the same things from people. The gamers that have been following it since it was announced had mixed feelings. Some thought it was overhyped, some thought it lived up to its 9.7 score from some sources. |

I'm not going to try playing Bioshock, or any of the new games really, until I get a new graphics card. My 9800se will just piss me off trying to play since I'll want more options than it can handle.

I played the demo. I thought it was pretty good. I also just played the Medal of Honor demo for 360 and I loved it. I will definitely pick that game up eventually.

I just tried the demo on a Radeon 9800XT 256MB. I have Pixel Shader 2 and the game needs Pixel Shader 3. It runs but looks like crap.
I need a better card  |
