It works on my laptop now. It's running smoothly on the highest settings (I expected lowest at most, but it looks great!). I have an 8600m GT - Nvidia hasn't released a working driver for the mobile version of hte card yet, but the people at <a href="http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/</a> made a workaround. Check it out if you're having the black screen after the beginning plane sequence! I actually don't have a mouse for my laptop, so I've been playing with the touchpad... bleh. Woot!

This game is AMAZING. I took a break myself to play Metroid but all the talk around the office is about Bioshock. So I fired it back up last night and am hellbent on completing it so I can talk at work about it. HAHA. Glad to hear it quit lockin up on ya. Totally man. This game is AMAZING.

Odd, here in Oz I'm sure the dude on the radio is named Atlas and not Allie. Would they really have changed it in different regions or am I just mad?! I have heard of the game stopping for several seconds at a time but I'm yet to experience this after playing for a good 3-4 hours. Nice write up, Matt!

Apparently there's widespread PC panic... my game runs fine until the plane crashes, then black screen. Some people with the same problem have fixed it by uninstalling codec packs. Hopefully... patch soon. The game looks amazing, but I can't actually get it to run. Apparently there's widespread PC panic… my game runs fine until the plane crashes, then black screen.

The graphics are incredible and the story is awesome. I love how it's one of those kinds of games that literally drags you into it, so it's hard to stop because you want to get to the next part! I also appreciate how the items and things you use are mechanical, like you mentioned, and not so "digital", as lots of games these days are leaning towards. I've always liked "old style" designs in gaming...it's a refreshing change. :D I've been watching my boyfriend play this game, since he's been glued to it, and I agree, it is truly amazing.

I was thinking it could be a prequel. People play the game then watch the movie to see Rapture go from thriving underwater Utopia to a chaotic underwater grave...or watch the movie and then people want to play the game ;) I was discussing with some friends a few minutes ago that a movie would be a perfect compliment to this game.

The lagging wasn't so bad on the other levels, but now on the level that begins with H, it lags every 5 seconds or so. The LB + RB method doesn't seem to work for me.
