Bioshock
BioShock lets you do the impossible as you explore a mysterious underwater city. When your plane crashes, you discover 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.
As little girls loot the dead, and biologically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn. Now you're trapped, caught in the middle of a genetic war that will challenge both your capacity to survive and your moral allegiance to your own humanity.
Make meaningful and mature decisions that culminate in the grand question - do you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture to save yourself - or risk all to become their savior?

"It takes the tired, worn-out FPS genre by the scruff of the neck, reinvents and bend it out of shape in such a breathtaking fashion that it's going to take something very special to top this in the months and years ahead."
"A few PC quibbles aside, BioShock is a triumph, an absolute masterpiece that needs to be played by anyone with the slightest interest in gaming."
"The fact that I can even toss around phrases like "art" and "choice is an illusion" with a straight face should tell you something: In Rapture, a little rote mission design (collect four of these, three of these, then bring them back here) and a few physics bugs that leave corpses twitching for all eternity are trivia."
"The art direction is outstanding; mixing art deco architecture, classic 1950’s graphic design and tons of great old music from the early jazz era that adds a musty creepiness to the overall atmosphere of the game."
"Games at their very best, like this one, can create amazing alternative worlds for us to inhabit, doing those things we can't do in real life. This is one product the free market should be very happy to have."
"They didn't just deliver something that's fun to play, a criterion so often cited as the benchmark of what makes a game worthwhile."
"To put it simply, BioShock is a brilliant game; one that sets the proverbial benchmark not only for first-person adventure titles, but also for all future games to come."
"BioShock is on the same par as those great classic films that have won awards for years and this one will for the video game industry."
"In the end, even if most of you will go out on other adventures, be it exploring a tropical island in a hi-tech nano-suit, duking it out in professional arenas or fighting hordes of aliens on distant planets, Rapture will stay with you long after you will leave it."
"I spend my career, and my gaming life, waiting for a moment when a game just astonishes me, when I can't believe what I'm seeing, what I'm doing. BioShock has five."
"BioShock is excellent on so many levels. Yes, the lack of multiplayer is disappointing and the hacking can become tedious. What really sets it apart is how it forces the player to dig deep inside and make some difficult decisions."
"BioShock is all about placing yourself in a wonderful, heavily detailed environment filled with memorable characters, cool enemies, and creepy atmospheres reminiscent of an HP Lovecraft tale."
"The first and most noticeable thing about Bioshock are the visuals. Bioshock simply looks gorgeous. The underwater effects are among the best ever in a game, which is wonderful since there is a lot of water in the game considering that it takes place at the bottom of the ocean."
"While not exactly perfect, BioShock is not to be missed. From the superb visual design to the enchanting audio soundtrack, this futuristic period piece is a delight to play."
"The intricacies of the machinations, the character models, the really freaky-looking locations, blood scrawled on the wall, bodies floating in the water, it is a freaky filled work of art. "
" Amazingly, it doesn't fail in any aspect. BioShock is the game we've been waiting for years for and, for System Shock fans, about a decade."
"The main attraction of BioShock is liable to be story, as with System Shock 2. Rather than treat the game like a movie, 2K has made it a mystery, revealed gradually in bits and pieces. "
"BioShock's real strengths are as a compelling work of interactive fiction, and as a unique ride through a warped world with some great payoff built into its mysterious plot."
"Overall, Bioshock serves up an amazingly solid single-player experience, which serves to further up the ante defining what computer games can and should be."
"From a PC gamer's perspective, I think you'll find that BioShock brings something fresh to the table."
"The storyline for BioShock is full of twists so we won't go into many details here. Basically you start the game as an unknown male who is on a plane over the Atlantic Ocean in 1960."
"Make no mistake, BioShock is a masterpiece, as pure a gaming experience as exists today. It will take something beyond outstanding and phenomenal to take this game's rightful place as game of the year."
"The designers did a masterful job of keeping the game flow at a perfect pace."
