The Cult of Rapture, a new community site for 2k Games' Bioshock, has landed on the tubes. There's quite a bit there, although a lot of it is the same stuff you can find on the game's official website; screenshots, trailers and a description of the game's plot.

What this site does have, however, is a Q&A with an Irrational Games representative and questions gathered from game sites and forums from around the web. One big question addressed on the site is whether Bioshock will have any sort of multiplayer or online gaming action. The mysterious unnamed rep had this to say...

There will be no multiplayer (hold on before you complain!!!!) but for a very specific reason. BioShock features a compelling storyline that revolves around the experiences of one man as he enters the decaying world of Rapture. Having a multiplayer component would have compromised the story we were trying to tell so we made the decision to keep this game as a single player experience. There will be an online component, however, where new content can be downloaded.

Personally, I am more than willing to give up multiplayer for a really good, solid storyline. And judging from everything I've seen of this game, I'm certainly not going to miss it much.

There are nine or ten other questions in the Q&A covering different topics such as whether or not there will be a playable demo and my personal favorite "Can you hype Ken Levine more like CliffyB?" Flynn De Marco
