Might E. Mouse writes "I think it's fair to say that everyone knows by now that Bioshock is a must-have game — virtually every gaming review site out there has given it 10/10. Xbox 360 owners wanting to play are covered: just pop the disc in and off you go. But what about PC gamers? Will the game run on my PC or do I need a new video card? What do all the graphics options mean — should I care about DX10 or will it still look good in DX9? UK techie site bit-tech has written a fantastic analysis of Bioshock's graphics and performance including benchmark results of everything from GeForce 8800 Ultra down to 7600 GT. There's even Quad-Core vs Dual-Core. It's a great guide for any PC gamer thinking of buying Bioshock."

Jesus - there's NO chance of reading this story. This is the THIRD story in a row with a link to APCmag.com. Their servers have no chance to survive, and we have no chance to read the content :(

Might E. Mouse writes "Cynics might say "Who needs a storyline for an FPS game?" and if we're talking Quake or Doom then fair enough. But to brand the entire genre as lacking in story is to condem gems like [i]Half-Life 2[/i]. So what goes into writing a really compelling storyline for an FPS game then? bit-tech has a great article exploring this topic with the likes of Martin Lancaster, writer / designer for Crysis, Rob Yescombe, writer of Haze and more. A must read for anyone interested in getting into game design / writing."
