Yay. Is coop a secondary thing or part of the main story?

Co-op is a prequel to the first game, while the single-player campaign is a sequel.

Bioshock 2 looks awesome but i want to give my opinion on what cruelty said. I personally feel yeah games should be created to show the souls of the creator, have some heart in them. They should be art the way movie making and animation should be. But unfortunately its not the way of the world and as things become successful and sell they get reproduced because of this fact. and the fact of the matter is games have gotten bigger than movies. And they are currently cost more to make and the fact that it takes so much to make a game money wise and the fact that it has gotten to the extent where one bad game can result in bankruptcy. Means people and companies get scared and get influenced by what sells but this can also work in favour i mean just because you take a couple things from a few successful game doesnt mean its unoriginal, you can still put your own twist on it. Its when games get to the extent of games like fifa or need for speed or anything like that where the company knows they are just doing it because it sells. I think it is disgraceful this is why i prefer the snes - playstation 1 era because it was cheap to make games and you could do what ever you want with them without having much worry. This is why i always argue against the whole realism and better graphics arguement that so many new gamers have been brought up with (Basically if it doesn't look nice it is shit). I mean look at crash 2, not the best looking game by these days standards and i still play through it again and again because it is so good.

(example: Free Radical, brilliant series of games, Golden Eye, Timesplitters, Second Sight. then they bring out one bad game and they have to file for administration.)

But anyway i agree Bioshock 2 looks amazing and looks like it may live up to the originals standards.

I don't think they are creating BioShock 2 soley to milk the success of the first game. It was a very well thought-out and unique game, and it would have been a waste to let the plot die after one game. Having said that, game makers do need to start making more daring and original games, which is where the success of BioShock spawned from, and if they create another BioShock after this, they may have gone a little too far.
