BioShock - Image 1Those waiting for BioShock (Xbox 360, PC) to launch on August 21 will have another huge reason to go out and get it as soon as they can. Along with the Limited Edition package of the game comes a free three-track CD featuring remixes of the soundtrack done by Moby and Oscar The Punk.

Beyond the Sea, God Bless the Child, and Wild Little Sisters are songs from the 40s and the 50s which echo throughout the length of BioShock in their original form. Their tappy nature has become an inspiration for developers 2K Boston and 2K Australia to have them remastered to better suit the game's tone.

From the initially light songs, Moby and Oscar The Punk transform the tracks into twisted beats which will capture anyone who's ever played the game in an atmosphere which will make them feel like they never left Rapture.

Along with the game and the remix soundtrack, a Big Daddy figurine will be included as a collector's item. To complete the pack, a behind-the-scenes DVD will be right in the bundle, too.

BioShock Limited Edition will be available in GameStop and EB Games nationwide. The game takes place in an eerie world under the sea where mutants and technology hunt players down. To survive, one must create modified weapons, alter his bodily structure, and devise deadly tactics. BioShock is rated "Mature" by the ESRB and is published by the Microsoft Corporation.

Windows Live

So, when I buy Bioshock for the PC on the 21st, do I have to pay for a subscription to Windows Live in order to play the game online?

NO!!! you will never have to pay (outside the original games cost) to play a Games for Windows title. the ONLY thing you would need GOLD for is to play cross platform between the 360 and PC.

The ONLY thing you need for Bioshock is an active internet connection to activate the game. all new Games For Windows titles are like this so it helps crack down on people pirating the game. However if you don't activate it you should be able to play through single player fine as normally activation only stops multiplayer.

and in case anyone else reads this who thinks windows live is stupid:

YOU DON'T NEED TO PAY FOR IT TO USE IT!
Silver is free and gives you everything except true skill and cross platform.

i spawned tanks everywhere cause they dont dissapear

this game is over rated the graphics in the darkness were better at 1080 p on my ps3..........................and ive played the demo.......and the water is over rated' it only looks nice whe the plane crashes, and i feel like im on a chained ride at disney land........i love half life 2 and grand theft auto

cause i love to experiment..................its a bunch of cutscenes where i wished i could do this........but i was constrained

they are totally over rating this.... i think Prey was better

its funny watching a cut scene in gta 3 and spawning a tank outta no where when the guys talking ....and then piling them up and they explode and people running and cops after me chaos......all whilea stupid cutscene' or other stuff
