Download of the Week - BioShock Demo

It's pitch black, and fire is blazing all around you. Drowning in a sea of oil, you gasp for air, and notice a tall tower in the middle of nowhere. Swimming to it out of desperation, you locate safety and comfort, but in an eerie place. Looking back at the ocean of fire you feel lucky to be alive.

Cold, wet, and tired you enter the structure in search of warmth, only to feel a sense of dread begin to crawl down your spine. Continuing on you find a vessel, and without hesitation you jump in. The lights go dark as the vessel begins to descend into the watery abyss. An underwater dive that seems like it could take hours turns into seconds, and your eyes finally settle on the city of Rapture.

BioShock is a truly unique experience. I've beaten the entire game on the Xbox 360 and on the PS3 , but never on PC since I didn't own a version of the game. Looking through the GameSpot database , I noticed we had a demo, so I downloaded it and played it right away. Instantly, I was enjoying the scares and excitement of BioShock all over again. The eerie belches of the Big Daddies and the weird mutterings of Splicers in the shadows all add to this amazing and wonderful demo.

The demo lets you sample the early portions of the underwater city of Rapture. After playing this game three times I still can't get enough of BioShock . Enjoy! You can find this demo and others like it on the GameSpot Downloads Page !
