How much better does BioShock look on the PC? Find out for yourself!
Rumor has it that BioShock was originally pitched as a World War II shooter set on a desert island chock full of Nazis. As appealing as �Nazis on an Island� sounds (almost as catchy as �Snakes on a Plane�) it didn�t attract much publisher interest. Thankfully, Irrational ditched that iteration of BioShock and moved onto something a little more original. Eventually, Take Two picked the game up, bought Irrational and turned the studio into 2K Boston and 2K Australia, respectively. Microsoft scored the exclusive rights to the game, and the rest is history.You can of course grade the game yourself as well.
GI: With Episode Two, obviously dates slip, things slip, but Episode Two was supposed to be out by last Christmas. Now we�re at this point, which at the end of the day gamers are happy they�re getting not only Episode Two but Portal and Team Fortress 2. Are you think that you�ll try to do another package deal with Episode Three or is that too far ahead to look at.Newell: We have multiple teams doing multiple things simultaneously, and these three happened to line up. As we have these slots develop it�ll determine which things get combined together. Our next big one is Left 4 Dead, and that�ll be great by itself. It just sort of depends on what comes together. Having multiple small projects in development simultaneously, there�s a little bit of kismet involved in what ends up getting bunched together.

Here's the note he posted:
My name is Greg Vederman. This past Friday I was running PC Gamer magazine as its Editor-in-Chief, and today I�m working at Voodoo/HP as a Business Development Manager. What in the world possessed me to make such a leap�and to not even take a single day off before the transition?!I'm guessing over priced / custom painted gaming rigs are about to become mainstream? (grin)In a word: Vision
HP has a bold, electrifying vision for the future of PC gaming that I couldn�t help but want to be a part of. Several months ago, Rahul asked me to come aboard and lend a helping hand, and though the decision to do so was not an easy one (choosing to leave a job you�ve poured your heart and soul into for nearly a decade is never easy), it was unequivocally the right one.
I can�t yet go into detail about what we�ve got planned, but suffice it to say, it�s big, and it�s exciting, and it�s going to be a hell of a lot of fun for us, but more importantly, for you. Stay tuned!

Today�s question:
What has better (360) graphics: BioShock or Gears of War?
The single-player presentation was still devoid of anything remotely involving Halo 3�s storyline. You won�t find a cutscene or any dialogue in Bungie�s single-player reveals; just some PR mumbo-jumbo about having the chance of rendezvousing with Cortana. We don�t care for storyline spoilers anyways, so we focused our attention on the gameplay of Bungie�s �final installment� (yeah, right) of this stupendous series.The excitment overflows!
