Well, here we are again back at Bioshock. One of the Xbox 360’s top games of the year for 2007. People ranted and raved about that version.

When was WipEout HD announced? Then we were told, “it’s coming soon” repeatedly. Then we found out it was suffering constant delays. Well, now it really is finally coming soon. Mark Thursday September 25th on your calendars, since that’s when the anti-gravity combat racer is going to hit the Playstation Store. SCE Studios Liverpool noted…
