Joyswag: Win a copy of BioShock, get it overnighted (Part 1)

We couldn't sit around blogging while copies of BioShock, one of our most anticipated games of the year, fly off retailers shelves a week early, now could we? We did what any gamer in our position would do ... we went to our local Toys 'R' Us and cleared 'em out. We've got four copies of BioShock to give away to our dear readers (that's you, smile!), and all you've got to do is leave a comment.
Both Joystiq and Xbox 360 Fanboy will be giving away two copies to readers. Since we want to make sure you get to play this before it drops next Tuesday, we're going to be overnighting these to winners for Saturday delivery. Here's the rules:
- Leave a comment below letting us know what your favorite thing about BioShock is (we like the Big Daddys!)
- You may only comment on this specific post once. If you leave more than one comment, you'll be automatically disqualified so be careful, ok?
- If you enter more than once, only activate one comment -- otherwise we'll send a Little Sister after you.
- You can also enter our Part 2 giveaway, and both of Xbox 360 Fanboy's giveaways (Part 1 & Part 2), giving you a total of four chances to win. You can only win once though. Not bad, eh?
- This contest is open to readers in the US only
- Entries can be submitted until 11:59am EDT on Friday, August 17th.

I cannot wait to play this game!
Monkeydog @ Aug 16th 2007 12:05PM
My favourite part is the part where it broke the release date.

the new era for gaming perfection

My favorite thing about BioShock is its originality. The FPS genre is getting somewhat stale, not quite WWII shooter stale, but stale none the less. BioShock manages to bring something new to the table, one that combines great atmosphere as well as visuals. That is what is so amazing about BioShock, it makes you feel like you are actually in rapture, few games can claim they do that.
And besides, who doesn't love Big Daddy's?!?!

Yay, If I win I get it!

My fav: trying to swim through fire after the plane goes down.
jason w @ Aug 17th 2007 1:59AM
My fav part is the creative ways to obliterate thy enemy!
brent @ Aug 17th 2007 10:52AM
pick me
sevink @ Aug 17th 2007 1:46PM
my favorite part about bioshock is how I have no idea wtf is going on in the game and i still want it.
Good PR ftw
Troy @ Aug 17th 2007 6:54PM

Nick @ Aug 16th 2007 2:57PM
Creepy little girls
Sam @ Aug 16th 2007 3:27PM
My favorite part is the atmosphere. Please let me win, that would be rad!
jmoney @ Aug 16th 2007 3:30PM
the rapture is pretty cool.
NATO_Duke @ Aug 16th 2007 3:34PM
The game looks damn damn fine baby. Perty stuff all over the place and textures with textures.
Zyph @ Aug 16th 2007 3:47PM
Even my sister is excited about this game, and she doesn't even play games!
Brian @ Aug 16th 2007 4:08PM
Screw Bioshock, bring on Halo 3 bitches!
joey k @ Aug 16th 2007 4:17PM
I like the crazy guns.
Steven @ Aug 17th 2007 1:18AM
I like the 50s and 60s style of the game, especially the music!
Stephen @ Aug 16th 2007 9:52PM
MY favorite part of the game is the atmosphere that it portrays. I just love the 1950-60s world that is so accurate, from the music, to the way the cutscene are portrayed. Also, the paranoia of Andrew Ryan with the CIA and the KGB? Spot On.
Marc C. @ Aug 16th 2007 5:22PM
THE ULTRA VIOLENCE!
Sparda04 @ Aug 16th 2007 5:24PM
My favorite thing about Bioshock is the setting of the game. I've always found underwater utopian societies very fascinating.
Ryan T @ Aug 16th 2007 7:34PM
That's right, who's your Big Daddy?
Nemesis @ Aug 16th 2007 8:56PM
My favorite thing about BioShock is the moral choices in the game. Do you kill a little girl just for some "Adam"? I think this is one of the most emotional games with the voice recordings tapes and the whole the whole game is so immersing which adds up to a must-play game.
astrobstrd @ Aug 16th 2007 9:55PM
Knowing that down the line, I get to school an objectivist. Taste bees Ayn Rand stand-in!
juryben @ Aug 16th 2007 10:13PM
The Big Daddy rock!
Damian R. Ourso @ Aug 17th 2007 3:30AM
PLASMIDS!!!
King @ Aug 17th 2007 8:30AM
Bioshock is the most unique game ever

I love me some plasmids!
Cheeseman @ Aug 17th 2007 11:01AM
I love the big daddy's, epic boss IMO.
foehammer88 @ Aug 17th 2007 11:27AM
My favorite part is that it takes place underwater!
Mark @ Aug 17th 2007 11:35AM
The Architecture of the city!
Omar @ Aug 17th 2007 11:40AM
My favorite thing about Bioshock is the the graphics, weapons, and world of rapture
dadanman @ Aug 17th 2007 1:05PM
I really like the part with the lady and the baby carage. Not better than a magnum baby!
OZISONLIVE @ Aug 17th 2007 11:46AM
My fav thing is the pure mystery as to what the hell happened down there. Game looks fantastic.
Jeremy Irons @ Aug 17th 2007 11:55AM
It's just another FPS! ....that I immensely want to play.
Steve @ Aug 17th 2007 12:00PM
My favorite thing about BioShock is the way your powers interact with the environment. I personally liked shocking splicers in the water =]
PWNKAKE @ Aug 16th 2007 12:06PM
I like the setting.. just too creepy. :)
paul donnatelli @ Aug 16th 2007 12:45PM
ummm, to make you not excited....Halo 3 is already out in some
parallel universe.
yggdrasil311 @ Aug 16th 2007 12:06PM
This game will give me a valid reason to finally replace all of my old gravied underoos.
Andy @ Aug 16th 2007 12:06PM
Oooh - I like the water. Tasty tasty water.
Almack64 @ Aug 16th 2007 2:07PM
I think the water is great too. It's definitely NEW & EXCITING!!!
Neebs @ Aug 16th 2007 5:03PM
...I truly have created the first Joystiq fad...
mr nimblewick @ Aug 16th 2007 12:06PM
I like how people who don't want this game will leave comments here to try to get one!
Fred @ Aug 16th 2007 12:06PM
My favorite part about the game is the hypodermic needles.
jake11 @ Aug 16th 2007 1:49PM
the needles are better than heroin
Jonathan @ Aug 16th 2007 12:06PM
I love this game because its takes the genre of FPS to the next level. It will make other developers raise the bar for their games.
zak @ Aug 16th 2007 12:06PM
i like that we'll finally have a game to play... slow summer.
ezkial @ Aug 16th 2007 12:06PM
my favorite part about the demo, wich im sure ill enjoy in the game...is how hard the first guy to be killed by a big daddy got owned.
I played it again just to watch him get repeatedly checked into that glass wall...
Eric @ Aug 16th 2007 12:42PM
I love the art style for the environments.
