Tubine and Codemasters are delighted and excited to bring us the very first, fully-rendered CGI cinematic trailer for The Lord of the Rings Online. "There'll be oooohhs and aaaahhs as you watch this spine-tingling teaser", they say. I'd say more like boooohs and baaaahs.

Bioshock takes place among the ruins of an underwater utopia. After your plane crashes into icy, uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an ideal society for a hand-picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, Rapture collapsed under the weight of its own idealism. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors, mutated little girls scavenge the dead, and genetically modified citizens ambush you at every turn.
