You smile and let me in

I just finished playing the Bioshock demo and all I can say is FUCK.SO. FUCKING. GOOD.I'm glad that the demo was released so close to the release date (08/21/07 aah!) because after playing the demo I'll be saving up my pennies over the next week or two so I can purchase this amazing game.Rapture is sublimely creepy, the Splicers are so weird, and the Little Sisters scare the living daylights out of me. I can't get over the visual effects, there's water everywhere and it all looks so beautiful and realistic... but so sinister at the same time.And I love the moral aspects of the game. Do you redeem the remaining inhabitants of Rapture and risk your life or save yourself and destroy them all; do you kill the Little Sisters and gain more power or let them live so they can harvest the ADAM from the corpses? The plot is spectacular, the visuals are stunning, and the gameplay is second-to-none.It's getting rave reviews from everywhere, and I can finally see why. This game is a work of art.... I need to go play it again.
