This is an image I shot using Photobooth on my Mac of the amazing metal statue of Mr. Bubbles (aka Big Daddy, aka Mr. B) from the amazingly cool new PC/360 game Bioshock.
Bioshock is set in a steampunk dystopian 40's society that has been constructed underwater away from the prying eyes of the U.S. Government and the rise of Communism. You, as the game's protagonist, accidentally discover the society when your plane crashes over the ocean. After descending from an oil rig-like structure in a bathysphere, you discover an art decco wonderland of nightmarishly bio-altered beings and steam-driven robots.
I'm not quite far enough into the game to understand the full story, but I am far enough in to highly recommend this game. It's superbly fun, and often scary. The art direction is jaw-dropping, and the storyline is surprisingly good.
I can also recommend the deluxe edition of the game available from Gamespot, which gets you your own kick-ass statue of Mr. Bubbles, the soundtrack for the game, and a making of DVD.
