I don't know if anyone's seen this yet, or how old this is, but there are two BioShock related vids on youtube. . . One is a CG trailer which is pretty cool, if not TOO informative.

">Trailer. The other is a 14 minute playthrough of part of the E3 build of the game with commentary by Ken Levine.

">Holy Crap. I think it's safe to say that this will be the best game ever, and to say so as a scientific fact. I mean, it's the embodiment of everything unique about (single player) games as a medium. It's like System Shock 2 on steroids. And GOOD GOD look at that water! And with graphics like that, I wonder if it'll be commercially successful on a scale no other game in its genre has been?

I wonder if they'll be licensing out their engine. Could compete with the Unreal Engine 3... And for what insane price (UE2 went for $750000)?

In any case, it's a travesty that these games are announced so early - makes for a great number of wrecked nerves.

Now, if they only gave up the silly Unreal Tournament franchise (what a waste it's been after the first game) and went back and created a worty successor for the original Unreal...

PS - to stay on-topic - BioShock requires no praise - it's a class of its own.
