My review on bioshock
The game is based on exploring the dystopia of an isolated underwater city called Rapture in 1960 and surviving the mutated beings and mechanical drones within it. The architecture and society of Rapture was strongly inspired by the works of Ayn Rand, while the game itself is described by the developers as a "spiritual successor" to their previous PC title System Shock 2. BioShock has received several positive reviews and is currently listed as the highest rated 2007 video game by collective game rating sites GameRankings and MetaCritic.
BioShock is a first-person shooter with some RPG customization elements to the game, similar to that found in the spiritual predecessor, System Shock 2. A 14 minute video showing, for the first time to the public, gameplay and some of the game's AI was released on September 20, 2006.
The player collects weapons, health packs, and Plasmids that give the player special powers such as telekinesis or electro-shock, while fighting off the deranged population of the underwater city of Rapture. The player at times will need to use stealth to slip by security cameras and foes, and can also hack into security stations to turn automated drones to his side.
