    With Bioshock Infinite due to release soon some users may have been waiting for it to drop in price or even to play the original two first. While I can't help with that first concern, I can with the second. I bought Bioshock Infinite from Green Man Gaming and they offered Bioshock 1 and Bioshock 2 as freebies. They are Steam redeemable keys.

    I would like to give away both Bioshock 1 and Bioshock 2 to an NBR user that has neither. So in my normal tradition, I'll have a random drawing. But there's a few rules.

    (1) You must have been an NBR member since February 2013 with at least 10 quality posts, PM access, and not banned at time of drawing
    (2) You must be of legal age and abide by laws of your region to be able to play this contest and the games
    (3) You must have a valid Steam account and I should be able to easily locate you with the Steam username provided
    (4) You must not have either Bioshock 1 or Bioshock 2 in your Steam account
    (5) You must redeem your games on Steam within 24 hours of receipt, or I will offer it to the next lucky recipient
    (6) You can only enter one time. If you enter more than once then I will poke you with a stick... and delete your duplicate entries. Too many entries and I will disqualify you.
    (7) You must post in this thread why you want Bioshock 1 and 2. Creative or boring, I don't care, just keep the thread alive until the drawing
    (8) Rules can change at any time and no Rick Astley videos.

    The drawing will take place sometime Sunday morning 3/24/2013.

    In order to play just fill in the information in this form:

    Entered :D! Thanks Wingnut.

    My reason will be pretty boring. Bioshock 1 is censored in Germany, so yeah. But Bioshock 2 isn't :D.

    Anyway, thought it would be pretty useless to play BS2 before BS1.

    Thank You for the giveaway, mr HTWingNut.
    Please count me in. :)
    I have heard a lot of good stuff about Bioshock and Bioshock 2, but I have never had the pleasure of playing either of these games myself. I would like to give them a try eventually. Better late than never... ;)

    I need 1 and 2 because I've already ordered Infinite, but have never played the first two. And I like bacon.

    9 entries? That's all? Man, I guess either more people own these games than I thought or it's just not popular. Good luck in the drawing either way. I normally like to leave more time for more entries but since Infinite is due out this week thought I'd give someone a chance to trudge through the first two before getting into Infinite.

    I think a lot of it is that most people have them already, or have already played them. I just never felt that my m11x would do them justice.

    I have heard fantastic things about this series, and want to get into it now. That way, when bioshock 3 comes down in price in a while, i can be prepared!!!

    also, i think my 6475b would run it pretty swell. always interested to test.

    Wish I'd known you last month. I'm the idiot who spent money on Steam versions of the games after I already had physical copies because I wanted the shiny graphics in my Library.

    I may have a condition.
