It’ll be a Steamworks game too so I can take advantage of discounts from other vendors if they’re available.

Best. News. Ever.

And, since the release date coincides with my niece’s wedding, which means I’ll be away from my 360 for probably two weeks at that time, it’s official: God hates me.

I didn’t know it was the System Shock 2 team.  
I’m now looking at the game with slightly less preemptive loathing.

Yes from what I read, it is the same team who made Bioshock. In fact it said this will be their first game since Bioshock (Bioshock 2 was made by different people).
