It was announced last week that Bioshock’s getting some lovin’ with new downloadable content for both Xbox 360 and PC versions. The new content is now available for download and will include new interface upgrades. Players will now have a wider horizontal field of vision and other additional enhancements.
There are also new plasmids and gene tonics available:
* Sonic Boom: Hurls creatures and objects back with a blast of force
* EVE saver: Enables Plasmids to use less EVE
* Vending Expert: Reduces prices in the vending machines
* Machine Buster: Increases the amount of damage players deal to cameras, bots and turrets
The Xbox 360 update is available through the Xbox Live Marketplace and will also be getting a new achievement goal:
* Xbox 360 players can gain 100 points for “Brass Balls,” by beating BioShock on the “hard” difficulty setting without dying
Also, the PC version will finally be getting the long awaited patch. Follow the link below for the downloadable patch for the PC.

Clearly Bioshock publisher 2K Games is sick of people asking about a potential PS3 port of the title. Despite rumors suggesting the story-driven FPS might be coming to Sony’s side of the fence, 2K Games representatives are adamantly insisting that no such port is in development, now or ever.
We get that they’re trying to be clear, but 2K comes off sounding a bit like our dads. Their official statement on the 2K Games forums was: “There will be no PS3 version of BioShock. It has been explained time and time again.” A bit harsh, no?
Still, the point has been made. Those looking to get their Little Sister fix will have to turn to the PC or Xbox 360 versions.

The free Darkness offer is floating around at a few retailers, but Amazon bests them all with a $10 discount. Once you click through, scroll down to “Best Value” and click the “Buy Both and Save” button. If you feel like paying an extra $10, you can pick them up at EB / GameStop or Frys.
