I tried all of Steam's suggestions and none of those worked. I don't know what to do.

Forgot to mention that I bought it yesterday, had it install over night, got up, double clicked "Bioshock 2" did the CD key, got it verified, now when I try to start it, it says preparing to start... Once that disappears, Bioshock doesn't start.

I will use it again, I hope I don't have to redownload the whole thing again. It was 10 GB's.

Then I could see how it would be a problem, and I have no idea why I get a negative rating on that other post, anyway did you try my suggestions?

Would you say Bioshock is worth the $9.99? Or should I wait till it's cheaper?

The first Bioshock? Umm... It probably won't get any cheaper, but I guess I'd say so if you haven't played it before. I beat both Bioshocks on an Xbox 360 a long time ago, now it's like playing it again because of the memories. But Yeah, it's a great game. I'm getting the new once in the Fall.
