    Re: Bioshock demo now available on Xbox 360

    Thats my thoughts gtech. By the time the demo is out, I'll probably already have the game on its way to me from Play!!!

    The demo needs to be out now and I cant see any reason, given that the games gone gold.

    Thats the problem with the PC version of any game now...longer development cycle due the combinations of drivers and systems that there is for the platform.

    It so was. I played the demo for about an hour, just took my time - didn't even complete it.

    Wow. It really was quite amazing, and soooo System Shock 2, which is a great thing.

    Re: Bioshock demo now available on Xbox 360

    One thing I was surprised about now I've seen a few in-depth video walkthroughs of early builds of the game is that it seems very linear, which goes against the main aim of the game according to the videos. Maybe I didn't get deep enough into the game though, I imagine the start is linear to help the player learn the game mechanics and controls, and then later on it gets bendy.
