BioShock Demo

The PC demo was released at exactly 7 PM EST on Monday, August 20th.

The demo contains the first 45 minutes of the game, and includes a beginning cinematic that established a setting and beginning plot lines. The demo also introduced a few weapons, such as the pistol and the machine gun, along with powers that can be used by the main character, such as ElectroBolt and Incinerate; some of these were added in the demo but would normally be found later in the game in order to give players a taste of the full game.
