Uncooked Media's "360 GAMER" magazine has secured another exciting cover exclusive, this time on the innovative sci-fi first-person shooter "BioShock", developed by Irrational Games, to be published during 2007 by Take 2.

A hulking Protector monster from "BioShock" dominates the cover of "360 GAMER" eighth issue, with an art style echoing back to the pulp science fiction magazines of the '50 and '60 that served as one of "BioShock"'s many inspirations. The extensive nine-page feature grants readers unprecedented access to this next-generation title, including exclusive "never-before-seen screenshots" and production concept sketches, along with an exclusive interview from "BioShock"'s executive producer, Ken Levine, the man behind the "System Shock 2" and "Freedom Force" series.

Stu Taylor, Group Editor of Uncooked Media, said: "BioShock is shaping up to be one of the most exciting gaming tickets for the Xbox 360, and were obviously delighted that Take 2 approached 360 GAMER for an Xbox 360 exclusive cover and feature. This, along with previous cover exclusives on the new Project Gotham Racing cars, Frame City Killer, Crackdown and Prey, proves that 360 GAMER is building a solid reputation as the "go to" place for publishers looking to break the latest news or announce its new Xbox 360 projects."

The eighth issue of "360 GAMER" also includes the exclusive Xbox 360 review of "2006 FIFA World Cup Germany", as well as characteristically honest and unbiased verdicts on "Final Fantasy XI", "Tomb Raider: Legend", "Astropop", "Jewel Quest", "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" and "Feeding Frenzy".

The comprehensive mix of features, developer interviews and previews include coverage on the hottest Xbox 360 games, as: "Test Drive Unlimited", "Ninety-Nine Nights", "Superman Returns", "Just Cause", "X-Men: The Official Game", "Medal of Honor: Airborne", "Dynasty Warriors 5: Empires', 'Far East of Eden Ziria" and many more.
