BioShock Movie To Be Made By Universal

azuredrake writes "Gamasutra reports that Universal Pictures has just announced a completion of licensing negotiations to bring the game BioShock to the silver screen. For those unfamiliar with the property, it was the much-lauded Game of the Year contender, praised for its storyline which emerged through gameplay, not just cutscenes. The director for the project is to be Gore Verbinski, who proved himself on the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, and the current writer for the screenplay is John Logan, who is recently known for the also-creepy Sweeny Todd."

It wasn't just pirates that had a pain in the ass with the copy protection. Anyone who had to reformat their drive more than three times couldn't use what they paid for. I couldn't even borrow it from my friend to try it out. That's why I pirated it.

So long as they don't harp on the BS philosophy. I mean, objectivism is complete self-serving crap to begin with, designed to make selfishness and greed look like virtues, and the game even gets that wrong...

Well of course the game gets it "wrong." If this crackpot Utopia had actually worked there is no story.
