BioShock is a unique game that mixes a spine-chilling setting illustrated with art deco art and architecture, sci-fi themes of bio-genetic mutation and self-modification, a deep storyline with open-choice freedom to interact with the world as you choose, and first-person action that requires you to think every time you pull the trigger. After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn Less
From the Makers of Mass Effect, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and Baldur's Gate comes an epic tale of violence, lust, and betrayal.

Pros Great Premise, graphics, and powers.
Cons Terrible ending, no multiplay
Recommended it? Yes

In Bioshock, the latest 3D action game from 2K games, something is rotten in the city of Rapture. Shortly after surviving a plane crash, the player finds himself descending via a bathysphere from a lighthouse to the submerged city of Rapture.

No sooner does the player arrive at Rapture,... Read full review »

Pros Original story, great graphics, atmospheric.
Cons Game is short. A bit predictable storyline.
Recommended it? Yes

I have been addicted to this game since my wife convinced me to buy it. The idea was that we would play through it together as we did with Gabriel Knight, Fatal Frame, and the classic horror game Phantasmagoria. Of course, I did not end up waiting on her.

It's a creepy game, full of... Read full review »

A worthy successor to the Baldur's Gate Series

bycorey_russell Mar 11, 2010
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent graphics, sound, story, party based format
Cons Considerable hardware to run
Recommended it? Yes

First of all, let me just say that I very much enjoy Baldur's Gate (made by BioWare, the same people who made Dragon Age: Origins) with its party format and NPC interactions. Dragon Age: Origins helps to recreate that enjoyment by having up to 3 other NPCs (Non-Player Characters) be part of your... Read full review »

Dragon Age is a challenging roleplaying game and is far superior on the PC than the console.   You can plan party mechanics and pause the game in the PC version and cannot do this on the console.  The graphics are beautiful and the storyline is interesting.   The gameplay... Read full review »
