I have low expectations for this game, but I might as well download it.

Anyone who contributes in an excessive quote tree gets a week RC. Fair warning.

Looks very interesting. I'm not playing it though, don't want to spoil the experience the first time I pop in the game.

The Demo was great, but a little too short. If I get a chance, I'm definitely picking it up. The control scheme is great and the effects look real nice.

The UK's Official Xbox Magazine stated that, in their next issue, dated August 2, a demo will be available for BioShock, but this proved to be a hoax.[14] Instead, the free demo was announced with a new trailer at the conclusion of The Kill Point on Spike TV, and was released exclusively on Xbox Live Marketplace on August 12th. [15] A PC demo will be released later in the month.[16]

Larry Hryb (Xbox Live's Major Nelson) chatted with Ken Levine on his podcast about the BioShock demo.[17] The demo contains the first 45 minutes of the game. It is a tweaked version that is different from the retail game - more weapons and items from later in the game were added in the demo to give players a taste of the full game.

The demo has now been released for the Xbox 360 (8/12/07)

I tried the demo last night and I was pretty impressed. I'll definitely be buying this game when it comes out.

It's stuck at 1% for me too, as is Stranglehold :\

Yeah, I found the demo to be amazing. I'll be picking this up.

I just have one question. Is the aiming an issue, because as far as I can tell there is no crosshair or gun sight.

Maybe there is some option or something in the full game.

The game looks sweet! I just hate how it takes about a half-hour to download the game, and you only get like 5-10 minutes of game-play

I have very low expectations for this game, I probably won't download it... unless I get really bored. Wait, I am really bored.

I've watched videos of it, and it sounds like it has a mediocre storyline with bland gameplay. Sure, you can make the trailer look all cool by having the character fist fight the Big Daddy, and get a drill stuck through his gut, but that doesn't save the fact that it's just another FPS when you get to play it.
