I never found that tonic! at least I dont think so. I got Sport Boost, but I thought that was just so you could swing your wrench faster. I was terrible when finding tonics, theres like 53 or somethin, and I found about 17 haha.

there is one that lets you run and swing faster. I thought it was sport boost, maybe not. There is also enough machines in the game apparently to power up every weapon fully. I thought i did alot of exploration, and i only powered up 3 completely. Guess theres alot hidden we are all missing.
With the tonics you can "invent" them.

I'm glad your on the same page as me bro, but I guess I still think a bit like a kid. I'll explain. My parents weren't very rich at all, and worked quite hard to make ends each week. But one Xmas I was blessed with a Snes and well, when you save up loose change and stuff all year long, and even B'day money, and only get exposure to 1, maybe 2 games per year, I guess I always wanted to get the best,longest lasting game I could for my $$'s. So I guess thats why I am so pumped on lastability factors or replay value, despite being a adult who can now afford multiple games a month.
But funny how I still look at only long in depth games to buy.

i'm just saying that I can finally truly say that we're in next gen gaming. up til now games have been trying but many suck and have issues... bioshock is focused and great, I am proud to be a 360 gamer.

They are abilities which morph you in to one of the 3 Golden Girls; Bea Arthur, Betty White, and Rue McClanahan. Each give additional weapons damage and a secret menopausal Plasmid

What about Estelle Getty? Use the senility plasmid and the Splicers pee their pants and forget their names for a half hour.

She is unlockable once the ''end boss'' has been defeated without losing any health. It's tough to do but replaying the game with her tonic ... She is a ****ing killing machine

[hollywood21639]

I bet she is..........................but her "Stop or My Mom Will Shoot" attack is devastating. Throws VHS copies of it at the splicers. Sends them running!

[Kona Palangi]

No, if you pay close attention they are not VHS but rather Betamax cassettes.

Oh yeah that's right..................BETAMAX!!!! The first coming of Blu-Ray!
