Enemies That Didn't Make It Into Bioshock

BioShock is a pretty successful game. Most of us have played both 1 and 2, some of us only part 1, and even less none of the above. So, when news comes out about the game, it's a given that people will take notice and scrounge over any piece of video, art, or music that did or did not make it into the game. Get to the point you say, well alrighty...recently (as in yesterday I believe) the minds behind the game, Irrational Games, decided to release some artwork of enemies that didn't make it into the game. These enemies though are a lot different than what you may have come to expect from the world of Rapture. When you think of BioShock, you think of Little Sisters (and now big ones too), Big Daddies, and the many shapes and sizes of splicers thrown throughout each level. One thing you do not think of is monsters. Well, your thinking could have been different had the following enemies made it into the game. These enemies, which have a strong semblance of insect man creature, never made it into the game and have since been sitting in the vaults of obscurity at the dev's headquarters. Give the images a look and let me know if you think the game would have been better or worse with these bad boys added in.

I dunno... Personally, I don't think any of them would have fit into the game with the possible exception of the final concept.

Especially the second-to-last. What the hell is that thing?

And the first one: Left4Dead 2 Charger, anyone?

Right, I agree. These "monsters" would have maybe added some cheap thrills to the campaign, but in the end would have taken away from the whole ambiance of the world. Humans who deformed themselves with a drug that gives them super powers is a lot more scary than Yam Hand Man.

Great review and I appreciate them. As you say, shorter and crispier contents catch the eyes of readers.But at times one needs to be elaborate while sharing their own experiences which may be of great use to those who read them.

Wow I was watching The Phill Defranco show and he talked about it. I was instantly going there is no way people are this desperate for interaction. I see I was proven wrong. To think about it its really like Sex talk lines but for gamers. Whats hotter than a chick who games.
