Wow, have you guys rented a video game recently? It's freaking $8 to rent an Xbox 360 game! I haven't rented a game in a long time, but the last time I did it: it only costed $5.
So the game I've rented is BioShock, which is critically acclaimed by many game critics. You may have heard about the controversy that Toys R Us was selling the game a week early[1]. If this was a Harry Potter book, it would've turned out ugly[2].
Anyway, poking around the internet, I found out that Cult of Rapture just officially allowed people to download Garry Schyman's orchestral soundtrack on their website (12 tracks).
For collectors, there is actually a 3-track CD available on the limited edition package of BioShock, as detailed in 2k Games's press release:
2K Games Announces The BioShock EP Featuring Period Songs Remixed by Moby and Oscar The Punk
August 17, 2007(excerpt)
2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., announced today the upcoming release of an exclusive EP remixed by Moby and Oscar The Punk for its highly anticipated BioShock video game. The CD will be bundled with the GameStop and EB Canada exclusive Limited Edition version of BioShock when the title launches on August 21st for Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Games for Windows®. The CD is also available as a pre-sale gift-with-purchase from video game retailer, Game Crazy.
The three remixed tracks on the CD include Beyond the Sea, God Bless the Child and Wild Little Sisters, variations of which appear in their original format in the game. Music luminaries Moby and Oscar The Punk have joined forces to remix them with the game's atmosphere in mind.
So far, I'm really enjoying the game. I had to stop playing because the game froze on me, so I'm finally taking a break (otherwise I would've just played until I die in the game). By the way, I'm playing it on easy, just to get as far as I can.

I like the game enough that I might pick up the game in the limited edition if I can find it at a reasonable price.
