This game looks amazing... and truly scary... which I like... FPS games don't normally interest me, but this looks like it could be really great!
I don't think it's been posted yet, but GameVideos.com has a great 4-min video with insights about various game features from both the creative director and content producer of Bioshock. 👍

I'm VERY much looking forward to this game. Definitely looks pretty unique, which is rare these days. Looks fantastic and the gameplay looks just as involving.
So far, it's got 10/10 in OXM magazine and 95/100 in PC Gamer. Both are extremely good scores for such magazines!

Now I wish I had an Xbox 360!
Edit:
That video can be found here for anyone interested.

I like the part where he hypnotizes the Big Daddy to fight along with him.

Oh ok I guess thats good that I didnt know about it yesterday then. It would have been disappointing to wait hours and hours for the demo. I will defiently be playing that tonight! Been trying to pass time with different games while we wait for Bioshock. Now the demo should hold us over for the next week. And the Stranglehold demo too. 👍

It's not bad. The controls and gameplay are really conventional, and it plays pretty similarly to Oblivion, actually.
Though, the presentation was top notch, very enjoyable.
Still, I can't help but wonder why I'm paying $50 a year for XBL and MS can't keep up with the user demand for a game like Bioshock.
Heaven forbid the Halo 3 demo comes out in XBL crashes (again). The world will literally explode.

Well... judging from the demo, this is a really intense and cinematic game. Like Zrow said, once you got to the top of the water after the plane crash, I was wondering why I wasn't moving. I moved the analog stick. Then I actually moved and my jaw dropped.
Graphically this is really awesome. The water is second only to Crysis IMO. The art style makes the game *looking out from a clear tunnel into the sea full of neon-lit buildings is impeccable. Having water drip down, having lights flicker, having the shadows create an eerie mood, having the Fallout-esque signs, movies, and the like... it really creates a unique atmosphere.
Gameplay wise, it's excellent as well. The plasmids are great, lighting someone on fire and shooting electricity into a pool that several enemies are in are both very satisfying. The way the revolver and machine gun shoot, as well has the way your controller rumbles when doing that, makes your weapons feel very distinct. This isn't like many other games where a rifle, a pistol, and a machine gun feel the same.
I guess my only disappointment was that jumping down into water and shooting your pistol in it doesn't look as realistic and good as the water itself, but that's about it.
I think BioShock is a definite Game of the Year contender, all the way up with Super Mario Galaxy, Mass Effect, and Halo 3. We're going to look back at 2007 a few years from now and remember this game.
Since when did you buy another 360?
But I do agree why the heck am I paying $50 a year? At the very least, make the freeloaders (Silver members) wait a week or add some more servers. Or both. I love the fact that we get surprise demos on Sunday nights, but please, let me actually download it.
Like Gears of War, there won't be a Halo 3 demo because there's no incentive. Everyone will buy it anyway.

If I didnt just shell out 700 dollars for books for school, I might have gone out and bought a 360 just for this game. It intrigues me that much.

Demo is very good. Just knowing it's only the beginning, you haven't seen even 1/4 of what you'll be doing and seeing later on!
Combat was rather tough at first - you really do have to use the envornment to your advantage. First time around, at the security alret near the end of the demo, I didn't react quick enough to zap the Splicers landing into the water, and thus got a little swamped. Second time around I was sucessful and even managed to find a Machine Gun that was just lying on the floor earlier on.
I just can't wait for the game to come out! 👍

I dont like playing with a keyboard and mouse though. The only game that I have ever played on a computer was Diablo II.

Oh... and $50 for the game of course.

You're barely going to run the game with that...

I guess you didn't see where it says "Minimum", and why, like most PC games, 2K Games also list "Recommended".Duċk;2740067

Exactly. My dad does have a laptop with 2gb ram and intel core 2 duo. But still, I dont think it will look as good as it would on a 360. Although I dont have an hdtv...so maybe not.
