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

Cons Terrible ending, no multiplay

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 »

Civ IV; Massive Entertainment Even If It's Not A Gaming Breakthrough

Pros Fascinating and massively entertaining look at history
Cons The military system really needs improvement
Recommended it? Yes

Civilization IV is the latest iteration of the redoubtable, very profitable computer game franchise from Firaxis. Everything is bigger, better, and prettier and this game will provide many, many hours of game play. It's addictive. Really addictive. Like the Morrowind games, something I really had...

Pros Improved graphics and sound, more victory options, automates some boring stuff
Cons Memory-hoggish, problems with patches

In The Beginning....: It's hard to believe, but it's been a bit over 16 years since I was invited to my computer-savvy friend Raci's house and "sneakily" introduced to one of the most popular strategy game franchises ever published.

At the time (1991), I owned an Apple IIe personal... Read full review »
