Words such as revolutionary, next gen, developers should be worried .. etc have been bandied about.

Only came on sale recently in the uK, gotta say I love it.

Have fond memories of the HL2 thread, come on you fps'ers, anyone one else like it?

Great game, although the PC release is a tad buggy.  I like hypnotizing a Big Daddy and enraging another one just to see them fight it out.  It's like an epic 10 minute slug match.

Its seems like a good game, I DL the demo off XBox live. I just hate things that jump out of the dark. Even if its a silly game.

The rumors that it installs RootKit type behaviors as part of it's copy protection software (SecuROM) I will be skipping this title for now.

Any software that hides directories, intentionally makes malformed files so they are hard to delete, and puts uneditable/deletable registry keys in place is software I don't want on my PC.

Yep, there's a huge firestorm about the SecuRom copy protection on the Bioshock and Steam forums. It's such a hassle for legitimate customers, who have to call both 2kgames and SecuRom if they have a simple installation problem. I bought it anyway, but I don't like it. :)

I wish I had more time to play, but I spent about two hours trying to get a decent framerate (1.7Ghz Athlon, 1GB RAM, 6600GT), and trying to figure out why I kept crashing every time I tried to switch levels. Downloading the recommended nVidia drivers seemed to solve this problem, which is caused by using a high-detail shader (or blooming, I forget which) graphics option when changing levels.

While trying to figure this out, I had to visit their forums, which is an inferno of complaints about game crashes, glitches, and technical bugs. I do think the game is buggy on the technical side, but if you can get it working you're golden. Gameplay looks bug-free so far.
