What are you doing Sunday night, August 12th at 9 p.m., 8 p.m. central? Don't lie to us - no one does anything important on Sunday night. You'll want to pause your game to tune into Spike TV to check out the worldwide debut of 2K's BioShock launch trailer.
2K tells us that during Spike TV's original series "The Kill Point," a 60-second never-seen-before trailer for BioShock will air. It will feature new footage from this freaky first-person shooter. Some "surprise announcement" by Game Head's Geoff Keighley will immediately follow the trailer, so look out for that as well.
Don't forget: BioShock is set to release for Xbox 360 and PC on August 21st. Tell 'em Big Daddy sent ya.

Even without the advertising dollars, Destructoid should be mentioning Bioshock every two hours based solely on its pending awesomeness. Besides, Kotaku reported this about two hours ago, so there's some proof that it's real news.
Turning the advertisments into a story every fifteen minutes is annoying, repetitive and downright undignified. Mostly because the advertisment is masked as something that truly has content.
I get that you are whores here due to your independence, money is nice, but do you have to make it that obvious?
I guess I should think twice before I label people unjustly, this one's my bad - I've seen the same story on Kotaku earlier in the day and I mixed up as to where I've seen it, thinking you've already covered the Spike TV ad news, while in fact it's just every blog posting about the same thing that had me reading it more than once.
My apologies. It's my fault.
I think that I got turned off to it after watching interviews with the games creator, who seemed to think he was really creative and awesome because his game was mysterious and takes place underwater. Not impressed. He also brags about making the game up as he went along, and that no one else was making games like his. Well, I can think of at least three games in the genre that look more interesting to me (Clive Barker's Jericho, Metroid Prime 3, and of course teh Halos).
The only thing this game has that stands out to me is the stopping enemy missles in mid flight and throwing them back at the enemy. That's an awesome idea, and I can't wait for another more appealing game to steal it, so I can play that game instead.
If Bioshock was more humble, I think I'd be more into it. But it's being hyped to the point that I don't even want to play it anymore.
You should probably put down the pipe and then review all FPS games that have come out in the past half a decade. To call Bioshock cliche is pretty ridiculous.
but If i can remember i'll be checking this out this weekend. hopefully when they accounce the demo they announce it as AVAILIBLE RIGHT NOW. man I'd crap myself
-And lay off the Destructoid. Niggas gotta eat.
