This new video shows us the many ways to torture the other people inhabiting the underwater city in BioShock. Had you been wondering how to electrocute  a nurse or how many hits to the head wit ha wrench it takes to kill a janitor, this videos of short clips edited together has examples for every bloody and fiery death in the game. I like how you can use wet spots in a level to electrocute several seemingly harmless enemies all at once. If the goal of Irrational Games is to make us feel like an aquatic asshole before even playing their game, they're doing a great job. The flooding levels look intense though, I'll kill as many big daddies as it takes to beat this game when it comes out in August for Xbox 360. For more brutal imagery, check out the new pictures below.

Come on Irrational Games, we get it, we know your game is dark and mysterious, show us something new. This "welcome trailer" is a myriad of murky Myspace angles showing off their game's atmosphere. We get a few more dark, foreshadowing hints, and can see some of the same areas and events from different angles in this trailer, but I want to see more gameplay. It's probably for the best though, I think Irrational Games doesn't want to spoil any of the gameplay, and is showing scenes from different view points to stress their game's ability to give us choices.

Much focus is also put on "Aesthetics are a moral imperative" written in blood in the second video. This has me thinking that either the appearance of the building is what's saving it, or harming it, in its current aquatic environment (remember that weird, violent fish deity in Riven?), or that the interior will be painted with a lot of blood as the game progresses and grows more bizarre. Some of the animations in the game look weird also, but I think they're done that way on purpose, everything looks very fastidious in this FPS.

This new trailer shows us a lot of what Irrational Games has been working on in BioShock. The majority of the seven minute video is just one battle against a single "big daddy" enemy. You have to outwit the guardian of the little girl by doing more than just aiming and shooting, a speaker at the start of the clip talks you through what special items are involved in slaying the beastly looking scuba diver. The blood and fire particle effects look decent, but my favorite part is how well they worked shadows into the underwater environment. The translucent lighting combined with a creepy little girl who drinks blood makes me think the game will be a mix between Myst's setting and Silent Hill's gameplay. Irrational Games has done a great job keeping the story pretty mysterious, I plan on picking this up as soon as it comes out to see if it'll live up to the hype. The video ends with a narrator telling you that you'll have to make the choice between saving yourself or saving everyone else, so hopefully there will be a bunch of branching paths in the story and a few different endings for more interesting replayability than your typical shooting game.

We've had plenty of Final Fantasy games come out on Game Boy Advance and DS Lite, now it's time for PSP to get some Square Enix loving. The PSP game Final Fantasy Tactics "Shishi Sensou" has been translated as "The Lion War" and comes out in Japan on May 10th for 4,800 yen. The PSP port has been enhanced from the original PlayStation game and includes new cinematics and even two new classes. You can see the artsy trailer for the game here, and more pictures of what gameplay is like here. An America release date still hasn't been announced yet though.

Also, 2K Games has confirmed that the Irrational Games first person adventure game BioShock will be released on August 21st in America, and August 24th in Europe. There won't be multiplayer, but the highly anticipated single player will be available on both Xbox 360 and PC when the time comes. Irrational Games has been bragging that their artificial intelligence is pretty advanced, but I'm not the type to buy a game just because the enemies impress me. Even if the story is a let down, the under water facility looks interesting enough to make this one at least worth a rental This August release date is later than they originally promised though, so it better not be glitchy.
