A Note About the Hints
Bioshock is divided up into 15 major sections, and each section is divided up into goals. You can always find out what major section you're in by saving your game -- the section name is always displayed on both the saving and loading screens. As for your current goal(s), you can always bring up the map screen and look at its bottom part for the currently active goal. For a list of all uncompleted goals, click on the Goals tab that's to the right of the active goal. (It's the tab with the "!" symbol on it.)
You'll sometimes have no active goal to be working on, but there are still places to go, stuff to find, etc. When this happens, I usually have a hint entry with a name in parenthesis, such as "(Find a way to enter Rapture.)" The parenthesis around the name indicate that it's a name I made up since the game will have "NO ACTIVE GOAL" listed on the map screen when you're at that point of the game. The names I provide are hopefully descriptive enough to help you figure out whether or not you're in there somewhere. (Goals are always listed in these hints in the order that you get them, so that should help, too.)
