I guess everybody knows that BioShock is awesome by now. If not… Get on the fuckin’ train man. I’m not really into shooters, but there’s so much to love about BioShock that there’s no way I could skip it. The funny thing is that for the longest time I just kept ignoring the hype around it, and a week before the thing launched I decided to give the demo a shot. It kind of goes without saying that the demo really sold me on it.
Most people just keep going on and on about how great the story is, but for me, it’s all about the atmoshpere. Honestly, I love playing scary games, even if they’re kinda bad in the gameplay department (except for Clock Tower 3, that was just awful), but BioShock is fun to play as well, especially given the fact that you can search like everything for items, and there are roughly seventy billion character upgrades of various sorts to collect. Incase you weren’t aware, I love to collect things in video games. One of the other less-mentioned things I like is that the harder achievements are challenging but not frustratingly difficult to earn, as they would be in oh, let’s say Crackdown. I really don’t even know what else to say. It’s a game you totally have to play. If I can’t convince you, read
this review. It should do the trick. Made me want to buy the game a second time.
Oh! And also make sure to grab the soundtrack as well. It’s free!
