Now is your chance to shoot up with plasmids and waltz with a few Big Daddies and Little Sisters. The GameFly PC client is coming out of beta today, and to celebrate, the company is giving away a trip to Andrew Ryan's underwater paradise of Rapture with a free PC copy of BioShock.

The digital PC client has been in beta for almost a year, and offers 350 Windows games for Unlimited PC play to GameFly members. The catalogue also includes more than 1,500 PC games and 8,000 console and handheld titles to buy or rent. There is also a growing selection of Mac titles.

"We used the positive and constructive feedback from our community during the beta to help make the best product possible," said Sean Spector, GameFly co-founder and SVP of Business Development and Content.

If you have a desire to get back to Rapture, do it quick. Free copies are in limited supply. Just download the client, log in and grab a copy.

        me neither, it was extremely consolized and the shooting felt terrible.

        Well I thought it was a great game. And the gameplay was actually really good.

        I liked it up until the point where the big daddies became jokes. The sense of urgency just vanished

        Same here, but I'm too dense to know about all the clever political society commentary that was going on, I only noticed it because people on the web discussed it.

        I found the game.. not bad but over rated as fuck and the mouse code I'll never forgive them for, it has some of the shittiest input code I've seen in the last decade, rivalling only second gen Lithtec games

      I never finished this game... borrowed the xbox version from a friend who needed it back before I could finish it. Never bought it. Do I have to pay for a GameFly membership to take advantage of this?

        no but I think theyll still require CC info when making the free "purchase"

          I had a Direct2Drive account so I'm trying to do the "reset password" thing but I haven't received my email from them yet.
