Without warning, the plane plummets to the cold and unforgiving water at unimaginable speed. Once the aircraft makes contact, you realize that falling from the skies is only the beginning of this nightmare. Wrenched into Rapture, a doomed city beneath the sea, you come across a rusted bathysphere. You learn that this once idealistic society, the brainchild of a hopeful group of scientists, artists and industrialists, now has corpses littering the city limits.Going beyond run-and-gun corridors BioShock presents a unique and unpredictable first-person shooter experience in real time. In order to survive an onslaught of assailants, you must take control of your world by hacking mechanical devices, capturing security towers and crafting items to protect yourself. Upgrade your weapons and genetically modify your body to evade the grotesque ghouls who are after you. Make meaningful choices and mature decisions to ultimately answer the question: Should you exploit the innocent survivors of Rapture or save them?

At first I was skeptical of this title. I had read some good reviews and I thought what the heck might as well try it. Glad I did, because this game is really good. The graphics are fantastic and the story line is really engaging. It takes no time to adjust to the controls and the gameplay is really good. The only bad things are that the game somewhat repetitve, but it's not to the extent of most games. And when you die you are respawned at a vita-chamber and you are not really punished for dying. So, you can die as many times as you want and keep most of what you have collected as far as health packs, and Eve hypos (for plasmids). Overall, this was the best the first person shooter last year and you should definately check this title out.
What's great about it: Great Story line, Graphics, and refreshing first person shooter
What's not so great: Kind of repetitve, and some kinks
