i liked the interview... and how they changed the plasmids from "spell-like" to more "industrial-like".

Not much new is said in the pages of the interview. Too much grating shtick from the writer before they start asking Ken questions, though that may be the style of the mag.

Someone really loves electricity – water. I can picture Ken playing with toasters and bathtubs when he was a young lad :D

Nice to hear that weapon modifications are making their way into the game. They are a staple of great FPS/RPG titles, notably SS2 and Deus Ex. Also, on the last page they wrote the heritage of Bioshock is derived partly from Thief. Perhaps stealth is a completely viable option :cool:

“The scariest and most disturbing things require empathy and connection” ^-----that is a quote making it into my signatures :)
