Give Yourself The Shocker

What happens when you try to invent an underwater, utopian city for the so-called cultural elite? If BioShock is any indication, you get a bunch of psychos trotting around sporting homegrown body modifications, tiny little goth girls that loot the dead, and a few humanoid critters called Big Daddies wearing old-school diving helmets that want to kick your ass. (We know, we thought an undersea paradise would just mean a case of Pabst and a harem of slutty mermaids, too.) Technically speaking the game is a first-person shooter, but it’s not your typical find’em and frag’em. Sure you get to choose from a buffet of traditional firearms like revolvers and Tommy guns. But you also get to transform nearly every object and every character you come across into a weapon, including your own body via genetic mutation. Lock it down if you want to get your undersea sociopath on. Halo 3 ain’t getting here till September anyway.
