Bioshock on PS3 was released about a year after its release on PC and Xbox 360 and i had heard of its great critical acclaim so of course i had to go out and buy it. And wow, its better than i expected, much better. The story is original and i would say it is the single game story that has stayed with me years after i first played it. The game is set in the city of Rapture, an underwater city that was the dream of Andrew Ryan but has fallen apart. The reason the city has descended into chaos is because of a substance called ADAM that 'little sisters' carry. Adam gives you powers and when you have powers, you can do anything. Its not quite that simple though. The little ..  Read the complete review

The recent release of Bioshock 2 has led me to this review of the original title in hope to cast some interest in one of this years biggest games; Bioshock 2. With System Shock 2 as a big brother, Bioshock had a lot of weight on its shoulders to become the big daddy of the year. Bioshock must have made the developer's family proud with its variety of recognised awards and ratings coming close to 100% in terms of excellence. Although originally an Xbox 360 and PC title, its success was easily beckoned towards the PlayStation 3. What was the special touch that gave Bioshock that game of the year award? 2K Games successfully manages to create an immersive ...  Read the complete review

A game that receives as much hype as this one did can never live up to it can it? Bioshock really blew us out of the water (bad pun) when it hit the scene way back in 2004, highly involved twisty turny storyline, great action and some seriously stunning, stunning, stunning visuals, there's just not enough art deco in computer games, that is to say there's not enough good art deco themes, and for fans of the style like myself, we can really fill our boots here. Set in 1960 the opening story is brief, I can't really go any further than the opening because the plot seems very delicately balanced and nothing short of brilliant and anything more will just open a ...  Read the complete review

Bioshock 2 delivers one of the best experiences you will ever find from a video game. The story is told from a great personal perspective leaving you feeling like you truly are the main character. This feeling is also greatly by the world in which the game is set. Rapture must surely be held up as one of the greatest living, breathing environments in game history. The tension built up by the dark and vacant halls, which eerily ring with music form the cities heyday, is superb and the mutterings of the enemies you face are unnerving. The game essentially operates as a first person shooter, although has RPG elements to it. You use both guns and 'superpowers', ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought Bioshock on the Playstation 3 as I heard what a big draw it was supposed to be and drew alot of attention on it's release in 2007 on other consoles. The story begins with you emerging from the wreckage of a plan that is on fire in 1960. You enter Rapture which is a paradise world built under the sea. It's all gone a bit strange however. There are enemies that want to kill you round every corner and then you receive radio messages from someone called Atlas that guide you towards salvaging your family from the evil forces within. This game is a first person shooter game which tries to play on psychological fear. When you are placed ...  Read the complete review
