	Preview - BioShock // Xbox 360 /// Eurogamer
		The main difficulty in talking about Bioshock without coming across like a frothing fanboy is that it does things differently, and almost every moment of the 20 minute demo needs careful explanation to frame it in the kind of context that does the spellbinding demo the justice it so richly deserves.
		Bioshock is due for release on Xbox 360 and PC from 2K Games in 2007.
		Related Groups: PC Gamers, and Bioshock: The Cult of Rapture.

	BioShock (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-26)
		The premise of BioShock is that a small sect of humans sought to create a utopia, so to get away from any and all outside influences, they setup camp in an underwater "station" of sorts.
		In addition, the fear in BioShock won't always come from funhouse-like doors popping open with bogey men (although there will be a few instances of that), but from gamers deciding for themselves just how much of their own "humanity" they're willing to sacrifice when augmenting their bodies in an attempt to survive.
		BioShock isn't scheduled to release until 2007, but when it hits, it's bound to take Xbox 360 owners and PC gamers into a whole new world.

	Xbox 360 - The Official Magazine - New Bioshock details shocker!

		Bioshock is seen as a ‘spiritual successor’ to classic PC series System Shock, one of the first games to combine the FPS and RPG genres and also credited as the first game to offer the player a free-roaming world.
		Bioshock is looking fantastic – a truly next-gen adventure that brings together the best of FPS shooters like Quake IV and Call of Duty 2 with the addictive adventuring of 2K’s other big game, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

		After watching developers trying to get BioShock up and running (pictured) at the launch party, and listening to a fair share of Vista complaining -- this BioShock copy protection issue is just another straw on the camel's back of fear in meddling with anything that requires a beyond up-to-date PC rig in the Vista era.
		You might have read yesterday about complaints regarding BioShock's method of generating widescreen, which seemed tantamount to cutting the top and bottom off the fullscreen image without actually adding to the field of view at all.
		The Xbox 360 version of BioShock is currently #2 as of this writing on their bestseller list behind the Wii, the PC version of the game is #5 behind Halo 3 pre-orders and the sexy crimson DS.

	BioShock Preview
		BioShock is an innovative shooter in development at Irrational Games, a wholly owned 2K studio.
		Intriguingly both Irrational and 2K are being coy on the details behind Bioshock, and rather then just for marketing purposes, these secrecy appears to be a key aspect of the game, with a genuine mystery that unravels throughout the game.
		What we do know is that the game begins abruptly with the player discovering an underwater facility that was constructed towards the end of WWII in 1945, by a billionaire idealist who grew paranoid that the world would be coming to an end.

	BioShock Preview
		Powered by a heavily modified version of the Unreal 3 Engine, BioShock is a horror game with first-person elements that takes place in the utopian city of Rapture, a city lying at the bottom of the ocean.
		Ken explains that he doesn't simply mean this in a graphical sense (or in terms of ad hoc physics changes, courtesy of the Havok 3.0 engine), but changes on a much larger scale - in terms of being able to change the air that the inhabitants breathe, and consequently, their very behavior.
		One of the reasons may be that in order to reach the state of utopia, a truly unattainable goal, one must justify the end as one sees it, by reaching for some terrible means.

		Irrational Games is hoping to disturb a wide range of gamers when it releases what many have called the "spiritual successor" to System Shock 2 on the Xbox 360 and PC sometime in 2007.
		The focus of the game is to explore this unsettling utopian society gone wrong, where mutants walk the streets wearing diving suits and carrying large weapons of mass destruction.
		Naturally you will have to defend yourself and we were quite surprised to see the throw-together contraption Irrational Games was passing off as an offensive weapon.

	BioShock First Look - Exclusive First Impressions - PC News at GameSpot
		We're pleased to bring you the first official details on BioShock, a new game that will attempt to further the open-ended, emergent gameplay of the previous games by offering even more choices for players to creatively interact with the world around them and to solve the challenges that face them.
		It's important to note: BioShock is not a sequel to any of the System Shock games, nor does it have any official relation to those games.
		But like the previous games, this one will offer a horror-themed gameplay experience in which what you observe, and what happens to you, will be tempered by your own choices.

	Comprehensive Coverage of GC 2006
		That is the kind of atmosphere that BioShock is going for and it is truly refreshing to see such an approach in a video game.
		Yes, BioShock has a very moody feel to it, but it's also worth pointing out that it just feels too colorful in certain parts, too cheerful in the selection of colors for a horror game.
		I also asked about the variety of creatures that we'll see in the game, and the answer was somewhat dodgy, not giving any sort of numbers with an explanation that a lot of the creatures that were shown will be further modified by Adam to look even more horrible as the game progresses.
