BioShock - Image 1The BioShock demo on the Xbox 360 is now officially on board. Well, in a sense, at least. It's not technically on board Xbox Live just yet, but we may as well expect it to arrive within the next two weeks.

German rating board (oh that kind of "on board") USK just tested out the BioShock demo and they've now given it the green light. They've given it an adult rating - not a big surprise - already.

From that, a lot of folks online have now assumed that it's bound to surface on XBL pretty soon, especially since that the game itself is coming out on retail by August 21 in the US.

Keep your eyes on the prize: we'll let you guys know as soon as it hits the Marketplace.

this game looked ok at e3, ill see what it plays like on the dead box. i dont expect the graphics to look crazy smooth like the pc version cause the xbox 360 sucks and was killzOWNED by ps3 but i could be surprsed. gears of war graphics doesn't impress me anymore, so i wanna see something prettier to make immersion better. i do know that heavenly sword demo impressed me so i will get that game. bioshock looks like a story all over the place. i wonder if the toothfairy will be in it cause that bit¿h owes me money since i was 6 years old.

fanboy, much?

so all the PS3 is good at is graphics and not games?

Atleast the 360 has games to play and has good gameplay instead of graphic heavy games

Bioshock looking real good. Cant wait.

» Yeah...

If you think HS or LAIR is more impressive then gears of war, then you either havn't actually played gears, or you're a fanboy....by calling the 360 "deadbox" I would say you are the latter....



Anyways, this game looks slick, they are playing with game mechanics somewhat how like darkness does, not just guns, which will be interesting.



Thing is, it will only be a renter, like Darkness, if the MP doesn't hold up....as it will really only be good for one play through, unless you are an acheivement whore...

» Its really funny....

....That PS3 fans have such high hopes for Killzone 2. I mean considering I owned a PS2 for years before buying my 360. Killzone was crap on PS2....really crap! I mean really bad....why is Killzone 2 going to be any better. Atleast if ur talking about Halo, you can say that the other games were good. I repeat Killzone was garbage...One of the worst FPS's I've played on any system. I just reckon its pretty funny the way the PS3ers spek of Killzone as the "end all" fps.....Ppphhhhffff

You sound like you are 6 years old. Nobody with a fully develloped brain would use words like killzowned. Did your daddy buy your PC?

Face it ps3 fanboys, 360 has better games the end. Always will because 360 has a better developing environment like sony 'claims' to have. And all sony fanboys have at 360 now is the "deadbox" or killzowned. First off, xbox 360 has a 3 year warrenty which means (for you dumb ps3 fanboys) our 360's will be fixed at any time we want for free between those 3 years. Which means it's not dead, it's brand new again. And as for killzone that game is absolute garbage and i can't believe you can play it. Hell i can get more entertainment from a gameboy without the color.

only a dumb ass like sony would take a game that tolatly sucked (killzone) and then try to force it to be a so called a+++ tittle....and they think it will be better than before.



F**k you fan boys.......and F**K you sony

» you kids will never understaind the big picture

Why dont you guys get a better job then buy a uber PC...... the xbox360 is great.. Its just most developers are more worried about shiping time then texture quality....hopefully John Carmack will change this with tech5.................Most people dont understaind what it takes to make a porfitable game...........PS3 fanboys shure dont.......pc's have been able to do 10-50 gigs of texture for a long time its just most developers have not done anying about it.......makes me worred about dx10......it may be years before every new pc game truly uses it
