Game Description

BioShock is a wonderful game, and earns itself a space on the shelf of games that you simply need to play.

What makes the game special is that it blends nearly every perceived category of what makes a game great into one, big pot luck dinner of brilliance. The graphics, art direction, controls, sound, atmosphere, weapons, abilities, enemy AI, storyline—it’s all here. BioShock’s funny, insane, disturbing, political, timely (despite its 1960s setting), redemptive, and fun.

Instead of living in Cyberspace, in BioShock you’re on the ocean floor in the hidden underwater city of Rapture in the year 1960. But telling you exactly why you’re there and what happens while you’re there isn’t possible without ruining it. Basically you’re the survivor of a plane that crashes over the ocean and you swim to a strange piece of land that leads you into the depths below where all kinds of crazy stuff happens to you and you need a lot of guns and special powers to survive.
