Bioshock

This game is about to be released in under 3 hours.

Both ATI and NVIDIA have beta graphics drivers to address some problems
with this game.

I have tried the ATI drivers with the demo under Vista Ultimate and the
work without fault.

So did Steam not deliver on time? Ouch, major hurt for Steam. I love Gabe
and the gang down at Valve. Steam was going to be my backup if for some
reason my copy got pilfered from pre-order.

Sorry you have to wait.

I just used LogMeIn(.com) to connect to my computer at home and update my
nVidia drivers, computer is just waiting for me to get home. I may have to
calibrate my speakers before I start playing. I'm considering getting an
X-fi card just for this game, the audio in System Shock was amazing, I'm
sure this one will be no different.

I LOVE dropping the lights late at night and playing System Shock. I love to
be scared and BF is "not" scary. Well not in the shock way, more like the
scared that people really talk to other people in that way kind of shock.

My favorite games have characters, plots, and are genuinely fun and
innovative.

Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Siren, Rule of Rose, Eternal Darkness, Fatal
Frame... great games.
Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, KoToR, Civ, Alpha Centauri, just about any
Tycoon game by Sid Meyers
Half-Life, not Quake, not Counter-Stike, DoD is good. I like games where I
don't run into idiots, DoD tends to lean towards less idiots so it's an
exception.

Shooters are awesome, but I prefer more visceral gameplay wherever possible.
