2K Games and Universal Studios are teaming up to produce a movie of the hit game Bioshock.

Unfortunately, I had to have GTAIV delivered to me, regardless it is now in my possession. After only completing 4.11% of the game, I am amazed at the details that went into this game. Read on for a rundown of my impressions during the short time I have had to play, it may contain spoilers.
