Bioshock (Xbox 360) Reviews

Atmosphere is one of the most important things a game can have; it's all well and good having the graphics, or the intricate plot details, but if it doesn't have any real sense of atmosphere the game's pretty much worthless. Bioshock excells in it's atmosphere; an overwhelming sense of surrealism - not quite fear, but ...  Read the complete review

The title 'Bioshock' doesn't conjure up images of a particularly remarkable game. When I first heard about it, I though this would be your usual, run of the mill sci-fi FPS that'd be forgotten within a couple of months. But with all the staggeringly positive publicity going around, I just had to try out the demo on Xbox ...  Read the complete review

As you travel through the city you discover that the inhabitants were experimenting with gene "splicing" ...  Read the complete review

This game is an 18 for a reason. It's a very rare occurrence where a Game can really capture what it is that makes something scary. There are only a few out at the moment; 'Condemned', the original 'Quake' (during it's time) for example. Bioschock really did set me back. It delivered far more than I was expecting in ...  Read the complete review

This is one truly amazing game. You get thrown straight into the game with some of the best graphics that I have ever seen for the xbox 360. They are simply stunning, the amount of detail that the designers have put it makes it superb and is definitely worth it. The game is easy to get used to, but it is not as if ...  Read the complete review

Bio shock is and was a great concept of a game with its urban decaying environments and somewhat eerie type feel. After playing through the game i felt as though i was always being cheated and left wanting more. As a sequel to the amzing first "system shock" released quite some years back, i feel this game didn't live up to its ...  Read the complete review

When Bioshock was first released it was heralded by an unprecedented level of hype, as well as a considerable amount of controversy over the level of violence it contained. Both the hype and the controversy are justified. Bioshock affords a magnificent gaming experience but is not for the faint of heart. Bioshock is a ...  Read the complete review

I originally downloaded this game as a demo on the 360 and immediatley I was hooked purely because of the graphics, and that was on the very first cut scene before you even start the game. Straight away it's quite easy to enjoy the plot as it's quite simple and you're trying to help out some dude named atlas who wants to see his family, ...  Read the complete review

Bioshock is something of a rarity, a first person shooter in which, for me, the shooting was less interesting than the exploration of the environment and delving into the plot. The game is set in the 60s and begins with the player on a plane looking at a photo of his family before there is a crash, leaving the player stuck in the ...  Read the complete review

The game is a great new twist to a tired genre of shooting and accomplishing tedious tasks set in predictable story patterns. Bioshock relies heavily on storyline and innovation to grab it's userbase which can be a double edged sword in the fact you either hate it, or love it, with few in between. The first thing that got me ...  Read the complete review

Welcome to Rapture.... Introduction I'd been tracking the release of Bioshock ever since it's first announcement. Published by 2K Games (fomerly Irrational Games), it certainly had history on its side. Bioshock is set in the underwater city of 'Rapture', a utopia for only the best minds of the century. ...  Read the complete review

BioShock overwhelmed me on so many different levels. Everything about this game will open your eyes to a new aspect of gaming. Set in a dead, underwater city named Rapture, created by the megalomaniacal Andrew Ryan, you have to survive the creatures that live inside and try and escape mentally and physically alive. ...  Read the complete review

When I first came Bioshock through an advert it intrigued as it showed so little about the game except to expect a good level of music from the great Frank Sinartra. Therefore i decided to buy the game. With its creepy feel and beautiful graphics you instantly get transported into the world the game is set, which straight ...  Read the complete review

A gripping story line, amazing sets, decent voice acting (for once) and real heart pounding action that will get you addicted from the word go. As soon as i ...  Read the complete review

The one area which the 360 is not lacking in is First Person Shooters (FPS). The genre has moved on since the great days of ‘Wolfenstien 3D’ and ‘Doom’ and is now a very popular playground for console gamers. Games such as ‘Half Life 2’, ‘Call of Duty 4’ and ‘Halo 3’ act as colossi dominating the winter market. This does not take into ...  Read the complete review

If you own a PC and love shooting games, you’ve probably heard of System Shock. It combined shooting action with RPG elements, which is similar to Deus Ex. But, it’s pretty much been a forgotten classic as many people didn’t play and now can’t because you can’t even find a copy of it! Well, 2K Boston/Australia (they are the developers of ...  Read the complete review
