Hey guys,
There are a dozen new pictures ready for perusal for all interested over at the 2k Official Community Page. No screenshots, all poster art, but definitely still worth checking out in my opinion.

A new blog is out, with some more videos, this time with some videos of the first areas.
- Rapture is a huge underwater city, and we have seen only brief glimpses at a few corridors and hallways so far, in screenshots and trailers. Currently, we know that Rapture includes seven "decks," with multiple levels and many different environments spanning each deck.
Fans have been clamoring for a more in-depth look inside Rapture, rather than single screenshots or gameplay videos that often center around only one or two rooms. And while we don't want to spoil the fun of exploring the city during the game, Irrational has come up with walkthrough videos of two of the first areas in BioShock.

- Information has been bubbling up from the city under the sea. Last week, the first images of the Big Daddy Figurine prototype were posted on the Cult of Rapture. This hand painted bad boy stands about six inches tall, and although these photographs do not show his finalized colors, he created quite a stir.
For more information, check the source.

I think this is interesting but what do you think.
I was watching channel 127 watching X-play one day. I saw a guy in a white shirt killing a girl (im like is this a killing game or something) but from behind him the guardian gay thing attacked him and he injected some serum in him. and he had a crappy axe i think but after he got drilled a hole in him. sorta looked like gameplay
The girl is probably the "looter" in game descript.
You probably already know this but its pretty cool if you ask me.

The girls are harvesting Adam, and are protected by the Big Daddy's, no doubt the large metal guys you saw around 'em.

- Shack: That said--and I assume you will answer this in the negative--would you ever consider making a game like this without combat, or without very much combat? When playing BioShock, I got the sense that the world is so rich and compelling that one could theoretically develop a game there not centered around combat.
Ken Levine: Well, I like shooting stuff. [laughs] I've never been a fan of adventure games, but obviously, that's another medium that's been used to tell stories. At the end of the day, I'm a game first kind of guy, so I don't know if it's something I'd do. I'd probably do it as a book or a movie or a comic book or something.
I just want to push forward in the context of what you can do within an action game. Our goal was always to be shooting and telling stories at the same time, and that was a goal with BioShock. We wanted to have our cake and eat it too.

'Cause it takes place far, far back in the year 1960, so it's a lot harder to procure that stuff. Trust me, you'll find some awesome stuff in that city underwater. =D

The thing I always liked about the series was how they actually made your initial mellee wep useful by allowing you to upgrade damage done and skills with it.
Especially in System Shock 2 where ammo and weps in good condition were hard to come by!

After playing the game a bit I'm a little disapointed with the lack of an inventory and I'm also finding the controls a bit clumbersome.
The switching between weps and plasmids is a bit irritating. Other than that, thoroughly enjoyable.
