I feel like I might not have gotten the proper experience out of my Alpha Protocol demonstration last week, since I didn’t employ any stealth or guile when gaining access to Sega’s E3 booth.

BioShock PS3 Challenges Players to Find Their Balls

Back in May, 2K Games released a most frustrating document. While it confirmed the existence of critically acclaimed shooter BioShock’s port to PS3 and promised “new features and content,” the press release didn’t provide the foggiest idea of what that content might be.

Promising iPhone FPS List Now Includes BioShock, Re-Volt

We’d known since early February that BioShock was slated for mobile adaptation, but considering that the term “mobile adaptation” typically inspires visions of forcing the proverbial gigantic square peg in a tiny round hole, we’d pretty much crossed the game off our watch list. But now, Pocket Gamer (via Gizmodo) is reporting that BioShock Mobile [...]

PS3 BioShock Officially Confirmed, Arrives October With ‘New Features and Content’

Though I’d usually trust an EGM report with my immortal soul — much less a game confirmation — it’s nice to have it from an official source that BioShock is indeed coming to PS3. To learn that it will arrive in October, and with fresh new content to boot, is just icing on the cake. [...]

BioShock PS3 Confirmed in July EGM

Though the cover may feature the Xbox 360-only Gears of War 2, members of the Sony Defense Force might consider picking up the July issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly regardless, because sister site 1UP claims the mag has concrete confirmation, screens and details about BioShock’s translation to PlayStation 3.

The keynote speaker for PAX, the Penny-Arcade Expo, has been announced, and the popular convention will be kicked off with a speech from Ken Levine of Bioshock fame.

BioShock Ought to Be in Pictures
