Bioshock is stunning, but couldn't hold a candle to HL2, even thought HL2 is old by now.

I need to get that Orange Box. But I just can't find the time, what with Trials HD, CoD, and even the odd foray into Fallout 3 taking up my time.

Accidentally shooting a Slaver in Paradise Falls then being attacked and having to waste the WHOLE town was a feelgood highlight. They're slave drivers, morality innit?

I agree that bioshock isn't up to half life's standards but i was referring more to the feeling i got from both games that the story development was as important to the designers as the game mechanics. This is something that i think lacks from the vast majority of current games/series. for example halo.

also:
new campaign out for L4D.
pretty good.

also 2:
i have joined the steam group. lets shoot some zombies. and maybe i can finally complete an original campaign in advanced

Set a time and ill try but i only got l4d 2 days ago and im still kinda crap.

How about RIGHT NOW?!

so i know it might be dated, but does anyone know where i can get N64 games, i've been itching for the likes of super smash bros, bomberman, and snowboard kids??

oh and does anyone play halo on live?

I think you'll fall in love with Half Life 2, epic storytelling and fantastic gameplay, it's extremely expansive in term of mapping, in comparsion, Bioshock is very claustrophobias (fair enough it is underwater), it's also gorgeous to look at despite being 3 years older than Bioshock, the character design in Bioshock look primitive compare to HL2;

great dialogue, great story, great battle, great weapon, and the best of all - wasn't set in some obvious city like London, New York or Moscow that seemed to be popular in videogames, it was set in the most unlikest location - Bulgaria (City 17 is likely to resemblance Sofia).

1+ a thousand time, the story is what kept me playing, DOOM 3 was ultimately boring since the story was dull and repetitive (you have to do this and that and then kill the obvious boss, that's it), Bioshock could've easily been dull to play with had the story been rather tedious.

any game shops in hackney? apart from that second hand one by the mare street narrows?
Eds constant half life 2 salesmanship is paying off and frankly the internet connection at this place is laughable so no steam download for me..

HL2 is on the list, but I would say that Rapture and it's warped inhabitants are some of the most awe-inspiring and terrifying creations I've seen in years.

Finished Bioshock (brought the game yesterday evening), ending was a little disappointed, I like the games, the design of Rapture is defintely awe-inspiring and perfectly fitting to the story.

it's the icing on the cake that made the games, like the Little Sister and the Big Daddy.

I am now eagerly waiting for Bioshock 2, should be interesting to learn about one of the Little Sister who went on and become a Big Sister and went back to Rapture.

Was going to get a copy but it would get in the way of ACII when it comes out next week and GTA IV Gay Tony. I only get about 3 hours of gaming a week :(

yeah, was up until 3 playing it. You on PS3 or XBox?

Xbox. For some reason I'm having trouble connecting to servers, just keeps trying to find matches until I get bored.

ah, i'm on PS3. Servers are probably just overrun from the amount of people trying to play...
