This reminds me of some old Scooby doo episode where they were running from the big guy in the diving suit! I bet that is where they got their inspiration from when designing these guys! Someone tell me I'm wrong. :D By the way, I'm not too sad about the idea that he is out there and I am not!

PS. You can kind of get a feel on how the water twists and distorts the image in real time in this game (BioShock) through these screenshots.

I just can't get into single player games like i use too, since ive been spending more gaming time in MMORPG games & Multi FPS (WOW, battle2142, Americas army) i find single player gaming boring as hell, i seem to like playing with real ppl instead of AI. Although i still load up SH3 & 4, at least once a wk, but i played bioshock for like 40 minutes then never went back to it, even tho i thought it was pretty good.

I just hope i can last right through Crysis when it comes out.

Online gaming has got me hooked for good.

Apples and oranges in my book. What I am looking for in MP games is fun and interactivity, and plain old stomping on the competition. Thats your apples.

When it comes to Oranges (SP games), I'm looking for a story and emotional response to an environment and idea. Sort of like a good book or TV program.

Am I thinking wrong?

Nope, kind of like playing Il-2 online in a squad vs. SH3 or SH4 offline.

Nope, just different taste in gameplay

And I would've gotten away with it, if it weren't for those meddlin' fish! ;)

I wish i could capture some of the fluid motion, but it is hard to see in a screenshot. See how the building warp in the distance? That moves constantly as your view warps through water.

PS. Maybe its time to take full 60 FPS video with the Tivo.

I tried forcing it via the control panel (which didn't work), but there is no in game option to do that. Its like the game disables AA for some reason. I see someone online has figured out how to do it however. Personally, it doesn't bother me though. I only see a marginal improvement for AA in general in any game.

Here - in the section of the screenshot above. You can see how the water moves - http://www.veoh.com/videos/v1256420jxgMXanf

I'll do one more from another section maybe tomorrow.
