Wow, I harvested maybe 5 (??? maybe even less) little sisters and still got the evil ending. That was quite surprising, but good for me. It gives me a reason to play through again on hard and get the other ending.

Just finished the game last night, taking the "good" path. I didn't use any guides or FAQs or read any spoilers, so it was pretty satisfying to see the story unfold. I do have a minor complaint in that department, though. (Major spoilers about the end of the game below!)
Because of those complaints and a lack of real challenge (due to the fact that you can pretty much die with no penalty), I don't agree with the perfect reviews I've seen. With that said, it's still one of the best games I've played in a very long time, and despite a few issues, the presentation, plot, and atmosphere are incredible and the world is fully realized. I wish more game developers would put this much thought into their storylines, characters and environments. It makes for a very immersive and very satisfying experience.
Now that I've finished the game, I'm going back with some guides to get the weapon upgrades, audio diaries, and tonics that I missed. At some point down the road I'll probably revisit the game and try to play through on the hard setting.

Phew.. I spent last night getting all the remaining audio diaries.
Once I checked the list of them all and the ones I had, I missed a couple in each section. I had gotten all of them in the last section before the end fight.
So, I went back and got them all last night.
I don't think I'm going to get all the tonics this run. I have 0 Adam to spend and 1 tonic at the Garden left to buy.

I was always wondering how to get some things like under vents and behind doors, and it never once occurred to be to use Telekinesis. I barely used it the first go around, but now that I've used it more, it's pretty awesome.
They should have had "Kill A Man With His Own Hat - Chuck Norris Achievement".

One of my favorite things in this game is hearing the sound of a security bot or turret going off in another room, knowing that they are the machines I hacked taking out splicers that would otherwise be trying to ambush me. 
I actually get a little sad when I see one of my hacked bots has been destroyed, though.

Now that I am at the get everything you want before the final part of the game where you can't go back, I had to look at the list of ones I had. I missed about 2-3 in each section. I am glad they weren't the ones you can't get back into if you didn't get them the first time. So, I have them all now and my 50 point achievement.

Well, I finished the game and am missing 4 of the achievements. I'll see if I can get them an another play through on hard.
I loved the game, but the ending and final battle was a bit meh. Oh well... Looking forward to seeing what the "evil" ending is like.

Haven't gotten too far in the game yet, but is there a way to resque a little sister without having to fight the big daddy? Whenever I try they get really pissed and get ready to attack. After I beat them I then get the option to harvest or resque. Is that how it's supposed to work? I was under the impression that if you didn't want to fight them you didn't have to.
