Serious, you actually get motion sickness playing games? I know it exists, but hearing someone here is affected by it...my sympathies.

That's sad to hear, it's nice to see that it hasn't stopped you from being an avid gamer though, with your 3 PS3, 10 xbox 360s, 30 Wiis.
Do most FPS give you trouble, or is it just Bioshock? I've never played the game, I thought the cover looked to much like a lego box. The name sounds like a Lego product too, no?

It's mostly just the FPS games that trigger the motion sickness & anything involving planes, flight etc.. but I'm good to go with the beat em ups and racing (my favorite genres) so it's not so much of a setback as it maybe could have been.

Did you get inside Rapture? Theres a lot of camera movement at the start of the game during the plane crash which I can understand setting off your motion sickness, but it goes into a standard, steady FPS view once you swim to the Lighthouse. Choobies, you should check out BioShock. It has one of, if not the best game atmospheres ever. The art style and story is simply sublime.

I could not take it at all! even just turning left and right kills me.. my brother has been playing the game though and from what I've dared to watch, he's at a point called Mercury Suites looking for an elevator code of some sort.

Whisper, just how much of the saying that Bioshock is a ripped-off System Shock 2 story? I've played a bit of both SS games, Bioshock not at all (I believe my system is just not up to date anymore XD), but never got really far...

I've never played either of the System Shock's so I can't say how similar the stories are. They can't really rip the story off though, since they created both games. BioShock is absolutely perfectly presented, both graphically and in the telling of the story so I don't care how similar it is to their past games as long as what they do is done well. Plus System Shock doesn't take place in the brilliantly realised city of Rapture so while they may share story traits, BioShock at least looks wholly unique, from what I've seen of System Shock anyway.

I know it's from the same team and exactly therefore it seemed weird to me. So that's why I was asking... Both System Shock games take place on abandoned space stations though, isn't Rapture something like "abandoned underwater city"?
It looks stunning, I'll agree on that. That's also probably why I didn't even dare to get/install it on my machine, actually SS2 is a bitch to get running under XP/Vista so if you ever decide to play it, feel free to ask me anything... that just on a side note |

Rapture is not so much an abandoned underwater city, the inhabitants just went a bit crazy, to say the least. I just think the team like and are good at making games that are isolated, claustrophobic, tense and dripping with atmosphere. I dunno if I'll ever get around to checking out System Shock 2 (too many other games coming out and limited time) but if I do and I get stuck installing, I'll let you know thanks Isn't there a popular mod for it which vastly upgrades the models and textures?
