I've been using Vista for a week or two now and can honestly say that it is pretty much flawless. I'm yet to find something that doesn't work and the new Windows Media Center is absolutely incredible. So functional and great to look at - it puts Front Row to shame.

Every game I've tried on Vista has worked fine and the only one which has had a gripe was Battlefield 2, which was quickly fixed by flicking on WinXP compatibility mode.

The Bioshock demo works fine so I'd imagine the full game does too.

As for running this game on a MacBook Pro with that awful Radeon chip, don't hope for much and certainly don't hope to be playing at your display's native resolution. I remember my iMac struggled with Half Life 2 so I'd hate to see what would happen if it tried Bioshock.

Beat it!

Good game. What's next? Metroid Prime 3? Warhawk? Bring em on!

I think I'll go beat it again, and be the hero, instead of the anti-hero this time. (But being an Anti-hero is so fun!)

"Anti-hero"?

I would assume that was something like Donald Duck, but I guess you're not being nice to the little sisters, eh?

Btw. XP still sells for the same price as Vista.

If you can be evil and still be considered a hero, you're A-OK in my book. SEE: My username.

Yeah I really don't treat the little sisters well.

Where the gene banks and how do I add slots to my plasmid-holding-thingy?

The gene banks show up on your map as little double-helixes. You can add plasmid slots for 100 ADAM (harvest those sisters, baby!) at gatherers gardens, and you can add tonic slots for 80.

The full Xbox 360 version of the game just arrived. I'm not really sure what to expect since I don't think any of the review scores (except EDGE's 8/10) correlate with the demo.
