Although you mention System Shock here, Wayde, I find Bioshock to be the long-lost son of the Clive Barker series. Boasting psychic abilities and freakish, apocalyptic enemies, there's something very surreal and visceral about the experience. Playing the demo, I even felt it had some generational ties to that PC freakshow, Blood.

Although the demo is impressive, clearly there's a lot we still haven't seen. In fact, I'll be greedy enough to say that this 45 minute demo could use even more of those special abilities. It relies too much on guns and wrenches, weapons that I can tell simply won't be central to the full version title.

Only thing I'm concerned about is this: Can I really handle two massive FPS' in just one month's time? Let's not forget a late-September Halo release.

The only real comparison we can make with System Shock II is that it's made by the same development team. Bioshock is supposedly the game they wanted SSII to be.

I really liked the the Bioshock Demo for its otherworldly art deco esthetics in the design. I know I can't handle more games though, I already want to play Stranglehold - Bioshock and of course Halo3. And I am still working on ranking up my super-team in Ultimate Alliance Hard mode. What a game that is!
