An Underwater City Gone Wrong

BioshockArt.jpgThis concept artwork from 2K Games' BioShock shows one of the most starkly dystopian video game worlds created in the past several years. Here you can see one of the observation areas in a city that has seen better days.

There's a central statue of Atlas holding up the world, which has been smashed by a piece of the city falling from overhead. In the background you can see untended plants growing out of control while water pours in from overhead. Meanwhile schools of fish drift lazily by in the background. It's a fully-realized vision of a utopia gone wrong, and we highly recommend getting inside the game and exploring it.
