Surprisingly, I found the final boss battle with Fontaine harder on the Mac than on PS3, until I employed a different tactic at the third stage when the splicers join in the battle.

It's ripe for a sequel.

Bioshock 2 comes out early next year, March I believe.

Yep. Still one of the best games made. Even better on a Mac, actually.

See you in a couple of days.

OK... got the new iMac. Got Bioshock. Downloading patch. Will have dinner, and then...

at least its more gaming options for us,i just sold my 15 today and im tossing up to get a 27" tomorrow and buy another lappy down the line or get a 13 and a 24 monitor thus having portability etc,or say a 13 and 27 dell monitor ,decisions decisions,i wonder when the new unis will come out,if i got the imac then i could wait n get the next issue laptops[rekon they will update the chipset to ati] ,got to sleep on this one,27 inches,ooooahhhhhh, tempting,but there goes on the road,!!!!

Oh no, don't get me wrong. I'm not dismissing it or anything, I'm going to have another crack at it but it didn't really excite me to use a marketing expression.

I wouldn't be too quick to dismiss it. Knowing the game from PS3, you shouldn't see it as a simple shooter. It's more immersive than that. You have to give it a chance to grow on you. Literally.

I, too, d/ld the demo but my current Mac isn't up to the task. A bad match-up with the video card. Should have a loaner iMac tomorrow. Will give it a try on that.

I downloaded the demo the other day, can't say it really grabbed me. It was fun but I'm not in any hurry to get the full version.

The combat was the most annoying thing, I could never switch weapons fast enough to take multiple enemies on at once. It didn't really matter though because their attacks were so pissweak I could take as long as I wanted.

BTW, I was playing on easy. I like to play on easy first to get feel for things, then go up to hard once I know the levels back to front.

The part I enjoyed most was searching cadavers for stuff but the fun quickly drained from the game once I filled up my pockets with EVE and first aid kits.

I'll give it another go on hard and see what it's like but I'm not in a hurry to get the full version.
