Big Daddy goes gold: BioShock mastercopy on the loose - Image 1 


Good news to all fans of the System Shock series: 2K Games of Take-Two Interactive has just announced that BioShock has achieved gold master status. 2K will now proceed to mass production for the game's August 21 debut in North America and its arrival in Europe by August 24. Xbox 360 and Windows PC gamers, here comes Daddy!

If PC Gamer Magazine (PCG) and Official Xbox Magazine (OXM) review scores weren't teasing enough, then we can imagine the wait for the game's final shipping to shelves everywhere will be especially excruciating. And why wouldn't it? The spiritual successor to System Shock 2, revamped for next-generation visual envy, offers more options to thwart your enemies than the simple run n' gun tactic:
  • Biologically modify your body with plasmids
  • Take control of your world by hacking devices and systems
  • Upgrade your weapons, craft variants of ammo and plasmids
  • Turn everything into a weapon, use a combination of techniques
  • Make meaningful and mature decisions that culminate in your moral position
Get to dive into the underwater, torn world of Rapture when you pick up the game soon in major game retail outlets nearest you. Dates for other regions may follow, so keep your patience in check and your eyes glued to this space for more on those soon.

no, it is saying that the mastercopy has commenced the mass production phaze, hence why it is on the loose.

Thank God it's here: if I hear the phrase "spiritual successor to System Shock 2" one more time I'm going to flip.
