BioShock

Will BioShock 2 look like this?

Beautiful (but unofficial) artwork builds up our hopes

It's undoubtedly one of top three games of the last 12 months, so it's no surprise that everyone's praying for a sequel to 2K's excellent BioShock.

You'll probably crop-dust your pants at the sight of these gorgeous concept shots then - but don't get too excited, they're just the work of a (talented) fan:

The artwork was created by artist Ben Mauro as part of his Architecture course that concentrated on the scenes and environments, which BioShock has plenty of.

We're sure you'll agree that he's done a great job of capturing the feel of Rapture (we recognise some of these rooms and - oh, is that a Big Daddy?), but we hate him anyway for building our hopes up.

There's currently no official word on the second game (which is strongly rumoured to be a prequel rather than a straight follow-up), but speaking to Next Generation mastermind Ken Levine said: "Am I interested in continuing to work in the world? Yes, I am." Chances are looking good then.

Check out Mauro's blog (what's lots more of his dream-destroying art) here.
