Did anyone get to play the demo yet? This game looks
disgusting good. The water is better than any i've seen in a
game, and it just plays beautifully. The first five seconds
of the game is you swimming out of a hellfire wreck of a
plane crash, then entering a pitch black building only to be
greeted by a fascist-style statue with the banner "No Gods
or Kings, Only Man." Then you go underwater and the game
begins. It's so wicked. Can't wait to play it, though I'll
be playing it on 360 since I don't have a PC that could
possibly handle it.

Apparently, the big gist of this game is being able to
genetically modify your character and to use the environment
as a weapon. For instance, if someone is standing in water,
you can electrocute the water with a lightning bolt and
shock said person in water. Using telekinesis allows you to
catch grenades in mid-air and throw them back at people. And
more fun stuff. You can hack security drones to fight for
you as well if they don't shoot you full of ribbons first.

The setting is unique as well. It takes place in this sort
of utopia colony ran by an industrialist who was tired of
being regulated by government in the 1940s. Then, after
gathering the biggest and brightest, he built an underwater
city in the Atlantic Ocean called Rapture, totally
self-sufficient with power run by volcanic subterranean
openings. a full-scale genetic arms race broke out when
someone discovered a sea slug that secretes pure stem cells,
and the utopia was ruined, and all the residents turned into
horrible mutants. You drop in around 1960.

It's made by the guys behind System Shock 2, which explains
a lot.
