    Yes, if you have an Xbox 360, you are able to download the one and only BIOSHOCK. It looks graphicly amazing, even if you play it on SD, or HD. I will try and take some pictures and upload them here (ill try really hard to make them good.) Just giving everyone a heads up. So hopefuly a demo will be released for PC soon. But by the looks of this game... i dont see how a computer could run it.

    Old news, already a thread about it....try searching next time...what people are 'really' waiting for is the PC DEMO. You might want to change the title of the thread....(and correct the spelling! :p )

    a computer would run it the same way your xbox runs it.

    of course, you would need a good gpu, just like the xbox has. i think they recommend a 7900gt / 8600 gt to run it well. a fast single core cpu is plenty but im sure the game supports multiple threads and you can get a little more performance with a core duo / core 2 duo.

    Aww... :(

    I was gasping for joy when I saw the topic... only to find soul-crushing disappointment. The Xbox360 demo was released a few days ago - everybody here is awaiting the (hopefully soon to come) PC demo.

    PC's shouldn't have much trouble playing it. Many high-end cards nowadays (HD 2900, 8800-series, etc.) are a good deal more powerful than an Xbox360. Even my Go 7950 GTX can easily play games that are also available on the 360 (like FEAR, Call of Duty 2, Oblivion, Call of Juarez, etc.), and at a much higher resolution than wimpy 720P (1280x720) too.
