I'm prolly about 40% thru I am guessing. The game is great, graphics are clean and visuals are great (on X360 I have it)

I guess there is a balance issue, I find I am able to use my wrench everywhere and save all this ammo/eve and kill everyone with my wrench, die, respawn and continue. It's a love/hate thing but ye very interesting. And I am playing it on hard

I am saving the little sista's, I can't kill em. I was thinking to myself "is saving them really being nice as you're bringing em back into a world of crap". But I decided too.

I love the sound, very creepy, the speech is spot on (some of those voices really freak me out) and them some, the atmosphere it creates is unlike anything I've ever played. I feel like I'm really in Rapture and I just wanna get outta there asap. When you get a new plasmid? it's great how they show the 60's cartoon strip.

Hacking is a bit tedious, but for some reason I enjoy doing it.

Overall great game, great ideas, slightly overrated but the story and atmosphere it draws you into is what stands out from anything else.

When I get back from Bermuda my first mission will be to buy a 360 and Bioshock, plus I'll need to be able to play Halo3 and the zombie game (forget the name)

I'm with you. But soon you might be the only one who doesn't have Metroid Prime 3.

I hope so, I'm going on the cruise there for my honeymoon. I leave from Philly on the 13th of October.

Well, I can't speak about that cruise specifically, but the other cruises I've been on have been great.

Bermuda is a perfect place though, perfect temperature all year round.

heheh a lot of it is true, especially the dying part of the game. Like i said i can run around weilding my wrench with no fear of dying (due to the low cost of dying)! So it does make the game a lot less scary.

Wielding the wrench is just about the only fun I had. My roommate laughed at me because he's always out of ammo and I have maxed out on almost everything because I use my wrench exclusively.

During the demo I learned the AI patterns of the attacks of the enemies, so it's fairly easy to dodge and attack. I once took on a room of 5 or 6 at once without dying, or using health. The AI is not too complex in their fighting. Wrench-wielding in Condemned was much more challenging.
