matrixrunner reviews Bioshock (PC)

Bioshock is a creative FPSRPG with a wonderfully imaginative setting and incredible writing. You will find yourself wishing to return to rapture several times. The gameplay is centered around using steampunk weaponry in combination with psychic powers called plasmids to burn, freeze, hack, maim, and sting your way through legions of deformed party-goers, little girls, and diving suit wearing giants. While the learning curve might be a little steep, the rewards are well worth the effort of playing through the entire story. You restore balance to the undersea city of rapture, and can either do it a la Luke Skywalker or a la Darth Vader, depending on your personal tastes. The graphics are gorgeous when run on maximum settings, and don't lose too much detail on the more processor-friendly levels. I heartily recommend Bioshock to anyone interested in a good single-player game containing depth and an intriguing plot. Join the cult of Rapture.
