Noob question here, I just got the bioshock demo from gamershell but it's this weird notepad-like 1.84 GB file called fhx.pl.

What do I do with it?

About this, since no one could help should I re DL the demo again? Which source has the zip version? Damn you gamershell!!!

Hey, I just renamed the fhx.pl to fhx.zip and unzipped okay but what's this about antipirate malware?! Is it something nasty like starforce?

The demo was pretty short, finished it in about an hour or so.

The widescreen is built in, no need for 'hacks'

Now that the (very short) demo is finished, I'm uninstalling, do the 2k spyware get uninstalled as well or is there some manual procedure needed? This is so unfair on the part of 2k, loading some trojanware on their demo.

I tried looking in gamespot forums for the manual fix but aside from finding a denial-of-spyware statement from a 2k rep Elizabeth, I can't find the specific thread.

Thanks for the link, I played it on 1440 x 900 the first time and it went all the way until the promo clip, but the second time it was on 1920 x 1200 and all went well right until it crashed at the hall a few minutes before the demo ends. My card is the agp type x1950 pro 512mb, with 2g ram. I think the old athlon 64 3000 may be the bottleneck here.

It didn't crash for me after updating the graphic drivers and directx, overall this I give this game 7.5/10.

The fun part went down after I discovered that I'm only a _______ and the rest of the game was all about salvaging my ass instead of something bigger storywise.

Also, the variety and strength of the enemies never did change or scale accordingly. I also wished there were more varieties of plasmids to play with.

The ending wasn't anything big for me, what with so much build up. The last boss was a wuss, and I beat him on the first try.

Overall, it didn't live up to the massive hype.. but kudos for offering some variety to all the mindless shooters that are out there.
