We want your HALO 3 screenshots here. Add yours.
The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

I received a tip late last night (Friday August 17th) that the Huntsville, Alabama, Circuit City had Bioshock available for sale. I arrived this morning to find the rumors were true, and happily purchased a copy. How did the street date get screwed up so badly for Bioshock?

Doesn’t surprise me, they
Doesn't surprise me, they did the same thing for Halo 2 Vista. I heard most Toys R Us stores are selling it too. Is this just the Xbox 360 version or are they selling the PC version too?
You start playing it yet?
You start playing it yet? How do you like it?
Yes, I’ve been playing it
Yes, I've been playing it for about 5 hours now. I love it. There is so much to explore. The world is crafted so precisely and interestingly that I spend several minutes searching each room. The way you can use plasmids/tonics/guns/different types of ammo/hacked bots/hacked turrets/hacked cameras creates an endless number of ways to deal with any situation. You also have to make tough choices on what plasmids to carry when you run out of spaces, and you may have to drastically alter your playing style to compensate. The achievements are also well balanced (a few easy, few difficult, and several secret).
This will have hours upon hours upon hours of replay value for me.
AND I hear it has multiple
AND I hear it has multiple endings...
I'm excited for this game...
I think the multiple endings
I think the multiple endings will focus on whether you decide to harvest or rescue the little sisters. It's more difficult to rescue them and there's a 100 point achievement for never harvesting one, so I've chosen that route.
Just battled my first big daddy. They are no joke. I'm on medium difficulty and it took me about 4-5 times to find a good strat to beat him.
Wow, you’ve played >5 hrs
Wow, you've played >5 hrs and you've only met your first big daddy? I know there's a few in the game, so if they're evenly spaced out, you could spend about 30 hrs playing the game.
$49.99 in CC ad in the sunday paper
It's only 49.99 this week @ CC, so you might can take your receipt and get 10 bucks back since they lowered the price within 30 days.
I’ll actually get $11 back
I'll actually get $11 back since they have a 110% price match policy. Gonna do that Tuesday after work, then pick up my collector's edition from EB and probably trade in my existing copy of Bioshock at the same time.
BTW, here's a 10% off coupon for EB.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Thanks for the heads-up. I'll pick it up this week, then.
Well, gigs up
Well, gigs up. Circuit City wouldn't sell me a copy this afternoon. They guy said he had accidentally put them out on the shelves and can't sell it to me until tomorrow.
At least it’ll still be
At least it'll still be ten bucks cheaper.
