Bioshock (PS3)

Few games have the backstory, or the atmospheric feel of a good book, but I think Bioshock might just have something special here. You start of in a plane, and crash into the ocean. Taking refuge in a strange building, sat in the middle of the ocean, you find an elevator type thing, and accidentally stumble upon an entire city, built underwater, called Rapture. Turn's out this place was created for mis-understood scientists types etc. who just wanted to experiment without the limitations of human rights/laws etc. Unfortunately it looks like things turned nasty a while back, and Rapture is now home to some pretty eery enemies lurking about. Armed with a weapon ...  Read the complete review

Bioshock is one of those games that will be in your memory long after you have finished it. It's narrative driven storyline is one of the best I have ever seen in a video game and without giving away any spoilers, it will shock you. The underwater setting of Bioshock, in a ruined city called Rapture, is perhaps one of the games most memorable characters. It's art décor interior really sets it apart from most games you will play today that have a bland colour pallet.

The game uses jump scares ...  Read the complete review

Bioshock was originally released at the end of 2007 however more than 2 and a half years later this game still stands as what I believe to be one of the finest games made to date on the PS3. Indeed it comes as a shock (haha...) that only one person has given this game the tribute it deserves by writing a review so I will give it the justice it deserves.

Due to this the altering of genetics has become the norm. This overuse of genetical altering "splicing" of the dna has ...  Read the complete review

Before buying Bioshock, I was excited at seeing all of the reviews it has gotten. After playing Bioshock, I am excited to play Bioshock 2. Bioshock is a game unlike any you will ever play. The game starts when your plane crash lands in unknown waters and you enter the underwater world known as Rapture. I could say more on the story but I don't want to give anything away and ruin what is a fantastic story. One of my favourite elements of this game is the environment, a huge, practically derelict underwater city, where pretty much anything that moves is your enemy. The atmosphere that is given is truly eerie and unnerving, that you could easily forget you are only playing ...  Read the complete review
