Honorable mentions here

Nice one.HummaKavula

biosock looks too slow paced for my enjoyment. Because it's an FPS i expect it to be more hectic than that. dont start with the its an rpg play system shock 2 blah blah blah, because it is not.downPlayDemon

like all games, it's simply a CHANGE of pace.  you'll get used to it.  just like UT players got used to the slowness of Halo.  Just like Quake players got used to Counter Strike.  you adjust.  this game isn't to be missed just because you're scared "teh slowness" will frustrate you.

Its not the change of pace that UT players had to get used to, it was Halo's crappy online system. You dont even get to choose match settings in halo because unranked games couldnt be joined by the public. The game knew i sucked with snipers so every time i picked slayer it would take me to a sniper only match. Im telling you the game knew i was horrible with snipers

I'm a UT player.  the biggest adjustment is the speed by FAR.  the online system is fine.

I'm still in a bit of shock. Thanks everyone for your support. I never thought I was gonna win but I'll Thank God I did. Who would have thought that just because I couldn't sleep one night and deciding to design instead at 4 in the morning that this would come from it! I'm honored. Congrats also to everyone else. Some really cool art up there. I really hope that you guys like the final product. Only one thing left to say....... WOOOOO HOOOOO! :D

The cover art looks boring ;\

I like them more colorful and with maybe an actual character or so from the game

good for him. I wonder what he used to generate the rust look.  straight photoshop?  did he find that somewhere?  that background just has so much personality...

Let me guess: crouched with a gun in his hand and fire/explosions in the background? 

Looks neat and clean. It would be even more suitable for one of those metal Collector's Edition cases that are all the rage nowadays. Now, if I could just play this game already...I want it even more than I want Crysis!NamelessPlayer

Thats exactly what its for. The contest was for the cover of the Limited Edition version of it.

I think im gonna go steal part of the image for my avatar since i need one. 

There was a Limited Edition of it? I never even knew! That cinches it, I'm pre-ordering! (But I should get my new gaming PC before said pre-order gets fulfilled...the PC I'm typing this post on can't run any modern game worth a crap, and I doubt that Bioshock will be an exception.) What does the LE include, though? I'd assume that there's more than a metal case involved...NamelessPlayer

Boo-yah!

You think so, i would say the online but i guess its just me.

But i will give it a chance because i hear nothing but good things about it. 

[QUOTE="HummaKavula"]Nice one.Dreams-Visions

True....very perceptive. I remember awhile back you had another thread about Bioshock, and a few people were saying that it looked like Doom3, :lol:. Remember that? Even though Doom 3 actually looks great, still, Bioshock is not even remotely similar from what I have seen. Definitely one of the most original, and just plain tripped out looking/sounding games that is coming out for the 360 that I have seen thus far.

Games like this are what to me, makes it a necessity, and completely justifies owning both a 360, and a PS3;). Both are going to have some truly KILLER games that one would otherwise miss. I cannot wait to play this uniquely twisted looking game. A must own for me, no doubt.

Because we all know that every single first-person shooter game needs to play exactly the same...:roll: 

It's okay but I actually preferred quite a few of the runners up, second place was really nice:

that is indeed awesome cover art.

neither of those really say "BIOSHOCK" to me.  they don't grab me like the winning artwork does.  I just really feel the essence of bioshock in the winner's work.  but oh well.

maybe if the first one you posted had the letters on them, I'd like it more.

I don't think the contest was to design the actual cover, it was for an embossed bit on the tin. all the cool textures and such from the winning entry wont be on the box, the requirements for it was black and white vector.
