Underwater Shooter Game Surfaces as Success

A creepy, underwater shooter game that refused to sink when publishers balked at its high development costs has turned into a success story, with "BioShock" getting glowing reviews and top sales.

"Honestly, we couldn't get a lot of publishers to sign up to spend millions of dollars to do a game," said Ken Levine, creative director for "BioShock."

It took a well-timed public relations move to give the game a chance.

"We sold a story to the press essentially that we were having trouble selling the game to a publisher. That story got so much traffic that the next day 'BioShock' was the best idea in the world for everybody," Levine said in an interview.

SWG was so far ahead of it's time, if they took the sandbox of that and modernised the combat, it would blow the minds of a whole new generation of gamers.
