Bioshock (PC)

Bioshock was one of the most eagerly anticipated games of the year, being produced by 2K games, formerly Irrational Games, the creators of the almost legendary System Shock. Within Bioshock, you are Jack, who survives a plane crash into the sea and manages to swim to the entrance of the underwater city of Rapture. The intro sequence, which includes the crash, sets the scene very well, and also demonstrates the awesome graphics. The plane sinks into sea, whilst the plane’s fuel burns on the surface of the rolling waves. Wow! So, you get into Rapture, and go down in a lift. It is at this point that the though that has gone into the look of Rapture ...  Read the complete review

After surviving a plane crash somewhere in the middle of the ocean in the very early 1960s, you seem to stumble across a rather splendid looking underground city, called Rapture. A bathysphere takes you deep underwater to the city where you suddenly realise that something is terribly wrong. A man called 'Atlas' offers to be your guide via radio if you'll do him a favour and save his family, though as you step out of the bathysphere to see Rapture's amazing art-deco architecture in ruins and hear creepy noises in the distance, you start to have second thoughts. Still, you have to find a way to get home somehow and no-one else is going to help ...  Read the complete review

Bioshock is one of those amazing games that sets an EXAMPLE, raises the bar so to speak. Never before has a game had such an atmosphere. The underwater 50's/future city of Rapture is created with such detail and logic its simply astounding. The inhabitants of this dystopia are also detailed although not as much.

After your plane crashes into the middle of the ocean and Jack swims to an odd lighthouse structure you discover the bathysphere. This esoteric contraption begins to descend and you are given a brief description of the ...  Read the complete review

Bioshock could be the most immersive game ever made, it's certaintly one of the best written. I have very little bad to say about this title but I will aim to provide a comprehensive review. Bioshock is a first person shooter set in the underwater, art deco city of Rapture. Starting with very little background, you begin as the sole survivor of a plane crash. Fortuitously you have crashed upon a small, man made island in the middle of the ocean. After a minute of exploring you discover a bathysphere and descend into Rapture. From here you are dropped into a dark city inspired by various 50s styles and trends and other works of fiction such as Ayn ...  Read the complete review

I always like games on the PC and that meant a lot to me when i heard that Microsoft were going to make games especially for the PC. Bioshock was definantly the best game of the whole of 2007. It has an interesting storyline of a man crash landing on an underwater utopia where he has to help a man called "atlas" to suggestively save his family.There are tough enemies and some are tougher than others and they are called the dreaded "big daddies". These "big daddies" will only attack you if you attack them but the rewards of killing them will be that you can extract the precious "Adam" from the fallen angels that the ...  Read the complete review
