A branch of Toys 'R Us in the United States started selling BioShock early, and this may have opened the floodgates for Take 2 to allow the bring the schedule forward, as there are now BioShock commercials airing on TV saying 'AVAILABLE NOW'.

I've known one of the developers for almost seven years, and he has given me some tidbits of information about BioShock. The game has seemed extremely promising from the very start of its development, and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Quite a few reviewers have given the game ridiculously good scores. The official XBOX 360 magazine gave BioShock a perfect score of 10/10, while PC Gamer has awarded the game a score of 96%.

Anyway, here are some screenshots:
