I only started playing this game a couple months ago and I only have time to play like 4 hours a week, so I tend to get lost A LOT.

Right now, Iīm at Neptuneīs Bounty and I have to take 3 photos of Spider-splicers.

Prob is I donīt know how to use the camera I just found, thereīs no keyboard shortcut I can see in the command list.

Iīve already taken a photo of one, but that was so long ago I donīt remember how I did it.

Anyone remember this bit?

Also... is there any downside to liberating the little sisters instead of killing them by extracting Adam or Eve or whateverīs that substance they have in their veins?

Anyway, this game is absolutely AMAZING, most inventive gameplay in a FPS Iīve seen since... EVER, really.

I just bought this and played through it over the past couple weeks, although for the 360, not the PC. Awesome game, and creepy as all hell. The crazed ramblings of the splicers gave me the heebie jeebies.

For the camera, equip it like you would any other weapon. There's the circular aiming reticicle that pops up, just place that over the enemy you want to photograph and "fire" the camera like it were a gun. I suggest firing off a couple pictures in quick succession. Each one fills up your research bar less, but film is so plentiful/cheap, that every little bit helps. Take pictures of all enemy types, even security cameras, bots, and turrets, to get bonuses against them.

Saving the Little Sisters instead of harvesting them gives you 80 ADAM points instead of 160, but you get something from Tenenbaum toward the end of the game if you save them all, and you get a different ending too, from what I've read. My play through I harvested every single one of them. I'm a bastard.

Played it a while back, it was an okay game, but overall it was pretty average, the storyline and setting was fairly interesting, but i found the characters not especially likable, and the endings were pretty lame.

I'll be picking it up for the PS3 on October 21. I am really looking forward to playing it.

If you save one little sister, save them all. If you kill one, kill them all.

As for the photos: use the freeze plasmid to make the enemy frozen in place, then take all the photos you want.

Played through this a couple times. The first time was the day it was released. Played from Noon till one, and just knocked it all out in a straight shot. I can't say I've ever been more taken with a game's story. Bioshock brought a layered story into a beautiful virtual world, with enough variety in gameplay mechanics to keep it all rolling fluidly. A few of the twists I foreseen, but that hardly brought the experience down. This game is perhaps the best written Sci-fi/horror since the James Cameron-BOOMing 80's.

If you haven't tried it, download the demo, it's free and will pull you right into the game. If you've only beaten it once, do yourself a favor, and play through again. The rewarding experience can only truly be felt with a second, complete audio diary, play thru.

Awsome game. I found it used a couple months back. It sucked me in for about a week. I loved it. Different gameplay and awsome setting. The story kept it interesting. After playing the demo I did not think I wanted to play this game. Then I heard such good things about it. I wish I'd found it sooner. Outstanding game.
