GameSpot
In spite of some technical issues, BioShock creates an amazing world that you'll want to explore and a compelling mystery that slowly comes together as you play.

Anyone fortunate enough to have played the demo of BioShock would have already tasted the tantalising prospect of what, at first glance, looked like something very appetising indeed. Irrational games, now 2K Boston and Australia, fed gamers a small

Game Revolution
Bioshock is that rare game where the plot, environment, and combat are all steps above the normal video game experience. 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

Firing Squad
It's tough to review a game like BioShock simply because its been in production for so long (the game was first revealed way back in 2004) and heavily hyped as the greatest thing since sliced bread from the very beginning. There are always going to be

It's been a long time coming, but BioShock, spiritual successor to the sublime System Shock series, is finally here and ready to kick start the Holiday season. Anyone who's had a cursory glance at the trailers know this is a game to watch as it strives

If you're looking for another run 'n gun game to play while you chug down a few Cokes, you'll probably be better off not picking BioShock up. If you want a good game you can play in the dark, immerse yourself in, and love well-crafted plots and great

Gamer 2.0
It will challenge you, it will move you, and it will force you to make hard decisions. It is unbelievably immersive and tenaciously inventive. It is a game that sets the bar high for others to follow—for its art direction, narrative, and gameplay.

The hype has reached such ridiculous levels at this point that BioShock really needs no introduction. Know only that it is a truly massive game whose most overwhelming success is found in the thousands of small "holy crap" moments which crop up as you

There is art here, despite what many would say isn't possible with games, from Roger Ebert to game designers like Hideo Kojima... BioShock stands as a monolithic example of the convergence of entertaining gameplay and an irresistibly sinister, engrossing

Last year at E3 2006, BioShock was one of three games I told everyone they had to see. "If you have any chance at all, go see BioShock," I insisted. The gameplay, graphics and concept were just that good. Having now played BioShock for a week, I'd still

In one of their viewer polls at E3 this year, G4 asked if people preferred single player or multiplayer gaming. Surprisingly, 37% of respondents, the number one response in G4 polls, claimed to prefer the single player experience. If that’s true, then

Most people spend their lives waiting. We wait in traffic or days on end for a phone call from that girl at the bar. Some would even say that they're just waiting to go to sleep while they let their TV screens pass the time for them so they can go to

Once or twice a year, a game's technology and craftsmanship raise the bar so high that, Pixar-like, it leaves everyone raving. This summer, that game is BioShock. Fighting through the ruined underwater city of Rapture means being constantly dazzled by

When 2K Boston and Australia, then known as Irrational Games, released System Shock 2 back in 1999, it was without a doubt one of the creepiest games I have ever played. It’s AI villain SHODAN and its scary voice still gives me nightmares to this day.
