Does Bioshock 2 have achivements for my xbox 360 gamertag like halo 2?

Yes, yes it does. I do hope this isnt what you're basing your decision to buy the game on though..

Nope, only games part of the "Game for Windows LIVE" are.

You can see the whole list of them here:

I was going to get the game, but need to decide on PC or Xbox. I prefere PC because framerates are better.

I think i might have been a bit confused on the Live business, which prof. cheese seems to have cleared up, so please disregard.

I'd choose the platform which'll give the best experience. If that experience involves collecting points to show off to..whoever, then 360's the way to go..otherwise, I'd go for the PC..same achievements anyway iirc.

(isnt the PC version usually cheaper anyway?

Pretty weird to see Bioshock 2 missing from that list considering it DOES have achievements and they do get attached to your gamertag. I should know, I finished the game last week on PC. Just to confirm this, I checked my achievements through Xbox.com and there they were for Bioshock 2, 27 of 50 achieved for 585G.

That being said, the PC version still suffers from horrible FOV though it's fixable through cfg files and the keybindings are still broken. Well broken if you want to change keybindings, the default ones do work just fine. If you want to change them, you need to google quite a bit as to how to re-bind everything. Also the mouse control is completely broken but it too is fixable: everytime you start the game, you have to open options, change your mouse sensitivity back and forth, save and start playing.

Even with all those problems, I wouldn't think twice about which version to go for, PC all the way!

I stand corrected on that then Phinor. I wonder what other games are missing from the list?

Changing the mouse sensitivity in the mouse and going with it = win.

Though i agree with the rest, the key bindings are a frigging joke and changing them for 1 thing won't change them for another so you wind up using first aid or something when you want to hack something or something stupid. They barely even made an effort to make it pc playable.

Dirt 2 for one, that has Achievements.
