Learn more about Bioshock - Xbox 360. (Flash demo) SynopsisImagine flying high above the arctic seas, anxiously awaiting your descent to dry land. 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?

Amazing story
on September 9, 2008

This game has a great story with nice twists and the Unreal engine 3 powered graphics help set the mood. The voice acting is also good.
The A.I. of the enemies could have used some work, they are very typical of a first person shooter. There are 3 different endings but they are not executed at a satisfactory level. The enemies are also repetive.
Overall though, I very good game that should be played for its engrossing storyline.
What's great about it: Great story, Graphics are very good
What's not so great: A.I. is lacking, unsatisfactory ending
I would recommend this to a friend!

Learn more about Mass Effect. (Flash demo) Every 50,000 years, ancient machines swoop down and send the galaxy spinning into a continual cycle of extinction. Careful not to leave behind any evidence of their existence, these merciless machines have fooled everyone into thinking this deadly process is just a legendary hoax, but you know the truth. The most important struggle the galaxy has ever seen now needs your help. Join the fight against an alien onslaught and save the future of the universe.Take on the role of Commander Shepard of the SS Normandy and lead your elite recon squad in intense, real-time combat across a galaxy on the brink of turmoil and despair. Assume responsibility for the lives of your team members, whom you must rely on to stop the swarms of hostile alien enemies. The characters you control communicate via branching dialogue and display emotions through various facial expressions. This is an RPG that really thrusts you into the action. Choose your squad, weapons, skills and abilities, and customize your vehicles, armor and appearance. Most of all, harden your heart to face an enemy that lacks even an ounce of mercy.

Engaging Storyline
on August 6, 2008

I bought this game back in November and it is one of the best games I have ever played. The unreal engine powered graphics look great although there is the occasional "texture loading" but it does not get in the way of the gameplay. The storyline gets you really involved and you actually care about a lot of the characters; the voice acting is one of the best. The game tries really hard to not be linear in progression and it mostly suceeds. There are a lot of side quests which you can open up by talking to NPCs and getting some from computers.
The shooting segments are mostly sucessful although there are some collision detection issues, it is mostly smooth and similar to gears of war except you can issue individual action commands to one of 2 other squadmates. Driving the Mako (planet driving vehicle) is smooth except when climbing up mountains and cliffs which can get frustrating as it can be difficult and tedius.
Despite those complaints this is still one of the best games I have played ever. Definitely a must buy for either the PC or XBOX 360.
What's great about it: Great graphics, one of the best storylines in a game, good voice acting
What's not so great: Shooter segments needs refinement, driving segments can be frustrating
I would recommend this to a friend!
