My answer,
as per my previous statements, is that Songbird is a terrifying monster far scarier than even the most enraged-and-charging straight-at-you Big Daddy ever was.
Right now I'm unclear on whether or not Songbird is a robot, a human in a suit, or something else entirely - a possibility that I don't want to have to think about. But whatever it is, it makes for a pretty cool collector's item unless you've been menaced by toys before.
Irrational Games has released a brief video starring BioShock baby daddy Ken Levine that is all about what went into the design and manufacture of the Songbird statue that's part of
BioShock Infinite Ultimate Songbird Edition. Go ahead and watch it, then try to feel like it's not watching you when you go to sleep tonight.
BioShock Infinite comes out on February 26 and you can pre-order the
Ultimate Songbird Edition right now.
