BioShock

Want a game that is nothing like any other game you have played before? Want a game that lets you customize? Want a game that takes your visual and audion senses for a whirlwind of a trip? Search no further, for BioShock is your game.

Brought to you by 2K Games (Site), developers of games like The Darkness, Jade Empire, and The Dungeon Seige Games. BioShock is one of the 1st games to be using the Direct X 10 software for the Windows Vista line of Operating Systems.

"BioShock is the "genetically enhanced" first person shooter that lets you do things never before possible in the genre: turn everything into a weapon, biologically mod your body with plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade your weapons and craft new ammo variants, and experiment with different battle techniques. You are a cast-away in Rapture, an underwater Utopia torn apart by civil war. Caught between powerful forces, and hunted down by genetically modified “splicers” and deadly security systems, you have to come to grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology and fascinating characters. No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way." (Gamestop)

My Opinion of the game is simple: It is good, but it got boring after awhile of the same old stuff. Now the story is not bad and the game play continues the same way through the game, but it doesn't get better until you think you've made it to the end to find out that you have a long way to go. The fact that you can customize your weapons is kind of cool. Not to mention, you decide what way the game goes. You can go the route of the guy getting the job done, or you can be compassionate...either way you go, you never get the same outcome.

The details of the game are amazing and the environment is truly a work of art. Seeing the way the water and the fire work with the system is something to gaze on In the end, I would say that this is a game that any FPS player should at least try out.
