Bioshock News.

It seems Bioshock has been getting a lot of press lately from getting an approved sequel, along with a planned movie in the works. Now Strauss Zelnick, head of Take-Two Interactive, only a few months of announcing Bioshock would be getting a sequel now confirms that the seri...



Good news for PS3 owners! 2K Games have confirmed in a press release late last night that the PlayStation 3 version of Bioshock is set for an October release this year.



In a move many had hoped for but few expected, Bioshock is heading for the PlayStation 3. If any move has ever been more denied or danced around, I don't know of it. Even the game's designer, Ken Lavine, once vehemently denied that his pride and joy would ever grace the PS3.



Earlier today it was revealed that Universal Pictures and Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski have signed a deal with publisher Take-Two to bring the acclaimed FPS BioShock to the movie screen.



Yesterday, Take Two announced that they will be developing a sequel to their highly acclaimed title Bioshock. Considering the commercial and critical success of the game, which many believe changed forever the landscape of first person shooter titles, this revelation comes as no great surprise to most.



It looks like Valve has a winner on its hand. The rather lovely first-person puzzler Portal (which was part of the developer's Orange Box) took home the prize as Game of the Year at this year's Game Developers Choice Awards.



It may not have the credibility and reputation of the BAFTA Video Games Awards, but Spike TV's annual event also aims to shine the light on the deserving games of the last year. Sadly, the nominations are a mixed bag, to say the least.



This news story is likely to seem a little surreal. Why? Because in the next few moments, you will witness the unthinkable; a universally recognised industry name complimenting the competition!



The BAFTA 2007 Video Games Awards nominations have been counted! The decisions have been made, and the awards have announced, and it's turned out to be a year when the British Academy of Film and Television Arts have shown a fine appreciation for our favourite passtime, both as a form of entertainment, and an emerging art form.



The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has finally announced the 2007 shortlist for the 2007 BAFTA Video Game Awards. BAFTA has long viewed gaming with a credibility equal to that of the film and television industry, and this year's event will be no different, with the Video Game Awards being televised live on the popular UK terestrial TV station, Channel 4.



Taking everybody by complete surprise, Irrational Games (2K Boston) decided last Saturday to make available on Xbox Live Marketplace a free downloadable demo of one of the most highly anticipated fps games in recent memory, Bioshock. The demo itself is about 1.2 gigs in size, which translates to roughly 45 minutes to 1 hour of gameplay.



We chart the upcoming releases in the UK and the US for next week, dating August 19th - August 24th. There are a decent number of high profile titles due out this week, but Bioshock's long awaited release on the Xbox 360 and PC easily steals the limelight from everything else that's on show.
