Bioshock public gameplay demomajgig.

EDIT:  Now that I'm done watching it myself, I just hope that they do a more in-depth one later.  This one is pure marketing to people who have never played a good FPS/RPG (If you're one of them, please, go on amazon and find a copy of Deus Ex.  For the children.) but it does at least clue you in on some neat things they're doing, and gives you a decent idea of project direction.  Not bad for an early trailer.

Seeing only the video with no sound (No speakers at work anymore), I'm not impressed so far. It's DAMN shiny, but the actual gameplay looks sorta weak. System Shock 2 looked like it had more bang for your buck.

Anyone have a seething pot of hate to point at Star Wars Galaxies BEFORE I sign up for it and cancel CoV?

While the thought of seeing you tormented does appeal to me, in good conscience I can't recommend ANYONE to play Star Wars Galaxies. Ever. Telling someone that SWG is good should be likened to a war crime.

I consider myself a huge fan of Star Wars, and the sheer fanboy factor of playing SWG overwhelmed me at first. You can buy ships (Glee!), you can choose races from the movie (And there's a good number of them, too), you get to battle with blasters and lightsabers, and visit locations and see things from the Star Wars movies brought to life.

But they killed it. Dead. Recently they completely fucked over the game, implementing the "New Game enhancements" package. The NGE basically killed everything Star Wars about it, ruining the setting, and instead turning it into a generic game of "Rar kill stuff get levels rar!" that just happens to have Lightsabers in it. There has been talk that Lucasarts is going to take the license from Sony and give it to someone else.

EDIT: On a side note: You know what was a great game? Iron Tank for the NES. I fucking loved that game. Never beat it because I would always get to one boss that would bug up and make the game lock up...

I've been playing the Nintendo version of earthbound (Mother). At first i thought it was just an appadtion, but it seems to be a compeltey unique (well mostly unique) game all on it's own, and it's every bit as odd as the SNES version.

Right now I'm stuck in some dream world place and I'm not sure what to do. I stumbled upon one major hang up by accident. I had to use telepathy to answer a riddle that the person hadn't thought up yet.

Wait, Mother or Mother 2?

Mother 2 is the Japanese Earthbound. Mother is the prequel.

...at least I'm pretty sure that's the case.

I believe when he said Nintendo version he meant NES. The original Mother was released on the NES if I am nost mistaken.

AHEM!
Mother(or Mother 0) was released for the famicom, and did not make it over to the us system, the NES.
Mother 2 was released for the Super Famicom, and also came out for the Super Nintendo as Earthbound.
Mother 3 is the canceled n64 game, or the game boy advance game thats only being released in Japan(anyone got an idea what the GBA is called in Japan?)

Basically, they ripped out the skill based system of earning XP and made it class based, so now instead of earning say Crafter XP or Combat XP, you take a class like Smuggler or Trader and just level up. Also, Jedi are no longer rare, they're a starting class, so everyone and their dog can play Jedi now. They ruined the PvP system so now it's like WoW (There is no such thing as Obvious/Covert members of the Rebellion/Empire anymore, NPCs can be attack and don't trigger PvP, etc). Also, it's a very Diablo clickfest style action now in that there is no Lock On system, you just run up to enemies and wail on your mouse until they die. The game is filled with massive bugs from the total 180 change to the game system, many features are broken/removed (They simply took out a number of classes because they weren't "Iconic" enough, like Beast Tamers and Teras Kasi (Steel Fist, if I recall correctly) Masters), the crafting is a mess, planets are filled with abandoned PC cities from the massive amount of people that left when the NGE went into play, and many other problems along that line.

You really should do research on a game before you buy it. All this info is readily availible on the SWG Forums and main web page.

I suggest trying the Free Trial of SWG before you buy the game. And even after trying it, I wouldn't advise playing it...

There's a rumour going about that a Mother Trilogy DS cart will be released. But at the moment it's just a rumour.

Because it's bulky and it requires twelve people to get him in it.

The fourth design though makes me think of ultimate's black widows iron maiden suit.
