BioShock stands as a monolithic example of the convergence of entertaining gameplay and an irresistibly sinister, engrossing storyline that encompasses a host of multifaceted characters. This is an essential gaming experience.

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

The most salient fact about BioShock is that it's different. If it doesn't sell well, perhaps it's time to abandon hope and resign ourselves to the eternal recurrence of space dungeons and World War II. Games like BioShock are what we need. They are what

For all the talk of next-gen gaming, very few games actually try something new. Most big games nowadays are sequels, or sports games, or movie tie-ins. A few original IP's have made a splash (Gears of War, Resistance: Fall of Man) and reminded us why

The first-person shooter genre is easily one of the most popular styles of video games, and to look back over the past several years, some of the biggest titles of all time and "game of the year" awards have been for games of the FPS genre.

While on the surface it might look like little more than a very pretty first-person shooter, BioShock is much, much more than that. Sure, the action is fine, but its primary focus is its story, a sci-fi mystery that manages to feel retro and futuristic
