Bioshock is truly a wonderful exemplar of how games these days should be done. Even from the beginning of the game, you can tell that the creators put everything into the presentation of the game so that you, the audience, would have a wonderful experience. Gameplay is absolutely fascinating, not to mention slightly innovation (the hacking system comes to mind here), so not only are you going to be having fun following the game's story, but you'll also enjoy actually playing the game as well. Admittedly, the game is quiet difficult at some parts, but the numerous health packs and Vita-chambers littered through the game make it a much more easier experience. The graphics, powered by UE3, are absolutely gorgeous to feast your eyes on, and you may sometimes find yourself stopping just to observe some minor details since the game allows you the freedom to do those sorts of things. From everything to the Big Daddies and Splicers to the Plasmids and host of weapons you get in this game, there was almost nothing that didn't capture my fascination. There is no way you can go wrong with this game.

What I like most about Bioshock too is that it isn't pointless. It actually expands on some thought-provoking themes of humanity and the society we live in today. For example, do human beings have the right to artificially create other human beings by experimenting with stem cells?? Do we have the right to, essentially, play God?? What is the role of the leader(s) in a society? As you can tell, a lot of these themes are, of course, inspired by Ayn Rand's works, which is an automatic plus for this game:)
