BioShock

Visual masterpiece on November 19, 2007

I bought this game when it first came out. The hype surrounding the game was tremendous. The story was amazing. You can take two different paths depending on your style which was pretty epic. But in all honesty, outside of the graphics and story, I wasn't that impressed. The shooting style of the game was pretty weak. Not to difficult tasks to beat the game. Overall, I got a pretty dark feeling of the game, which I suppose was the objective of the creators. You are basically thrust into an underwater environment (not to spectacular graphics-wise considering not to many underwater games are made) and you fight your way to the end. The story is cool because it involves choices and overall how a "visionary" can destroy so many lives. In hindsight, I would have saved my money for the series of awesome games that were do out the last quarter of the year. I would put this game in "middle of the pack" for game of the year.
