I watched a part of E3 yesterday and they said that BioShock was the best game introduced at E3 for the PC, but I didn't get too see much of the demo of it... I did see the part where the guy injected himself with some sort of serum, and then (wasps?!) came out of his arm and attacked that creature...
BS will be available for the 360 also, but I hardly consider this to be a PC title; it far better suits the console.
I did see World in Conflict & that was pretty cool, and I am anxious to see that game(I forgot what it was) that was developed by the C&C team. Also, sadly, I've been hearing some rumors that developers are coming out with some tremendous updates from CS, but with those updates it will make CS a pay to play game w/ a monthly fee.

Steam is crap.

Why? Irrational is primarily a PC game developer, and this game is the the spiritual successor to the System Shock series, which was on the PC only. And I'm pretty sure the game was in development before the 360 was even announced. I first read about it in 2004.
As for PC games from E3, I'm more excited about The Witcher and Hellgate: London.

From the demo it didn't look right for the PC, but yes Irrational probably will surprise us... Hellgate: London I am waiting for anxiously being a long time Diablo fan.

Out on a limb here, but MappyMouse does the PD stand for Police Dept.?

Yes. Mappy was an old school game about a Police Mouse.

Yes, but it really should be MP, since the organization Mappy worked for was called the Micro Police.

I also question this statement. BioShock is, at it's essence, a first-person shooter and as such is better suited to a PC )keyboard/mouse setup). As someone else mentioned, Irrational is historically a PC game developer to boot. The fact that it's also coming out on the 360 probably has more to do with Microsoft pressuring them in order to get the new 'Games for Windows' accreditation or something. I'm very much looking forward to this title being released, and with any luck will be able to check out both the PC and 360 versions.

To be fair to Mephisto, the main development team did switch to the 360 as their main focus, only supervising the PC version, which was being developed concurrently. But given Irrational's PC roots, it's unlikely that the switch changed the core gameplay. The game still looks like it follows in the footsteps of System Shock, a game many people consider to be a definitive PC gaming experience.
