concept art
An enormous preserved whale pays quiet homage to the undersea world of wonder that was BioShock. In this concept artwork, it looks like a tiger-striped whale on treads is bearing down on our intrepid hero ... or is that thing stuffed and segmented? The image does capture the melancholic feel of BioShock, although it's missing the art deco curves and steampunkery of the world from the original game. Check out more pieces in the gallery below, and find out why this you won't be getting your game on in this world.

Must See: Bride of Frankenstein
Must-see movies are futuristic classics that shouldn't be missed. Of course, not every must-see is perfect. That's why we've rated them 1-5 on the patented "crunchy goodness" scale.Title: Bride of Frankenstein
Date: 1935
Vitals: Dr. Frankenstein's monster is lonely, so the mad doctor builds his green buddy a scary lady friend who rejects him. In the process, the Bride also popularized a bizarre, bullet-fro hairstyle that has become synonymous with sexy female monsters.

Date: 1931
Vitals: In the role that made him a horror movie star of the 1930s, Boris Karloff is both menacing and pathetic as Dr. Frankenstein's monster, a creature cobbled together out of dead parts and given life by the quintessential mad doctor.
