Playing Today: BioShock

I'm now into my second play session of BioShock and I'm starting to see what everyone was so excited about. There are a ton of cool surprises to be found, wonderful voice acting, and fascinating puzzles. The hack puzzles are a fun game in and of themselves. I like having mini-games I'm not required to do but I want to do them.

One aspect that I haven't encountered enough to fairly assess is the rebirth process. I haven't died enough to figure out if this game just doesn't kill you or if you are limited to a certain number of rebirths per level. And, thematically, if I die in a level who puts me in the Rebirth Chamber (or whatever that isobaric chamber is called) so I can live again, Angels?
