For all its sterling qualities, _Bioshock_ suffers from being designed for the _Halo_ crowd.

Not to be a snooty PC gamer... strike that, I am a snooty PC gamer. Especially in light of both _Bioshock_ and _Deus Ex: Invisible War_. These sequels (or "spiritual successors", if you insist) to deep and interesting PC games targeted the Xbox/360 fratboy demographic[1], with predictably shallow consequences. I don't think this is a coincidence.

Not from this crowd apparently. I am fond of COD and MOHA.
Hmm. Can't really say.
