Rating: 9 8.8

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.

bit-tech Review

"BioShock is, quite frankly, one of the best games I've played in a long time – the story is awesome and is put together in a way in which everything you do, or hear, is relevant in some way or another. With the risk of spoiling the story for anyone that hasn't played the game yet, I'm not going to say anymore about the plot. However, I have to say that I do feel sorry for those PC gamers that refuse to install the game because of the copy protection malarkey.

I can certainly understand why people refuse to install it, but those that choose not to are missing out on something that many have described as art - I have to agree with that sentiment. If there was ever a game that you could put forward as a piece of art then this is certainly it. BioShock is right up there with the all-time gaming greats, even despite its fairly linear gameplay. The thing is, the story helps to hide its linearity pretty well because everything you do has a purpose.

If you can live with the copy protection 'problems' (which will eventually be removed) and have a PC that's powerful enough to play BioShock, there's simply no reason not to go out and buy it." - 30th August 2007
