BioShock is currently undergoing some pretty big controversy regarding their digital rights management. From twitch.com, written by Rob Wright:

The trouble started almost immediately after BioShock release on Aug. 21. Word began circulating through various forums about technical issues with the game’s installation; specifically, many users who had run into issues with playing the game, whether it was Window Vista related issues or graphics drivers, un-installed BioShock and then re-installed it on other machines. They were then greeted with an unfortunate message that read: “Too many activations on different PCs have been performed with the entered SERIAL NUMBER. No further activations are allowed.” The message also included an e-mail address for SecuROM support (support@securom.com).

I’ll admit that I haven’t played many PC games recently. I kinda stopped when PC wasn’t powerful enough to run Unreal 2003. When I left PC gaming behind, for the most part, and started to play consoles (PS2, Xbox, and soon hopefully the 360), I just played games, and spent less time dinking around with making my system run the games.

I have nothing against PC gaming. I just prefer console gaming at this point in my life. I have to deal with computer issues all day trying to get work done, and I don’t feel like dealing with those same issues at night when I’m trying to relax.

Reading this article about BioShock and their DRM fiasco made me realize how much I don’t miss PC gaming.

I had the pleasure of receiving, in my email, a link the new trailer for GTA:IV today. I still manage to get some gaming time in now and then, and probably the only thing that keeps me coming back is the graphics improvements and realism improvements with each new generation. There are way too many graphical details in this trailer (even though it is kinda fuzzy) that make me realize just how graphically capable these new generation systems are.
