Really? Jewish folklore? I always think of the two gold and silver automatons Hephaistos had in his forge, but it looks like there is an even earlier example of robot-things. But Kaienta is sort of right, in most modern interpretations (D&D anyone?

) a golem is fueled by a bound spirit.
Yeah Talos is pretty old but I'm pretty certain the Jewish golems predated the myth of Talos (don't quote me on it though because I can't find a date for the first mention of Golems)
As for the Bioshock thing? God I hope not.
