| Pixel Shader 3.0 gets me yet again... Guess I'll have to play this game vicariously through my friend's 360. |

I'm hoping my GeForce 7800GT 256mb will play it good enough.
I suppose i was very lucky before i upgraded to it from a Radeon 9800 Pro 2 years ago, i read that 'up coming games' (i was waiting for Oblivion) would need Pixel Shader 3.0 and that hunch has kept me gaming longer since it supports it.
Since i've bunged in 2gig RAM and a faster CPU it's prolonged my gaming for another year at least (for me anyway)
Let's hope we get Bioshock before this dick get's his hands on it 
This is the boxed set i've ordered

| Quote: | Bioshock - Jack Thompson's next target
Friday 17-Aug-2007 10:59 AM "Big trouble" on the way for Take Two's shooter, says angry attorney
Jack Thompson, our favourite angry attorney, has been a bit quiet of late. With Manhunt 2 postponed and GTA IV delayed, he hasn't got much to moan about these days... or at least you'd think so.
According to a comment apparently posted by Thompson on Game Politics, it looks like the videogame-hating attorney is about to set his sights on 2K's Bioshock - the gorgeous shooter that's currently getting top marks from the gaming press.
"Please note that big trouble is on the way for Take-Two re BioShock" states Thompson, likely enraged by the game's large abundance of adult content and highly-detailed hookers. No, hold on...
Bioshock is a violent game no-doubt, and it does have little girls for you to kill at will - but it's blatantly heavily wrapped in a fantasy world and isn't supposed to recreate real life in the same ways as say GTA. How many times have you shot fire balls from your wrist?
Next on the hit list: Beautiful Katamari, for disgusting scenes of mindless destruction and sticky theft.
