Bioshock

I had no idea what Bioshock was when it came out in the Summer of 2007. I saw the review for it at Gamespot and decided to buy it that day. I went to Gamestop and asked for a copy.
"Did you preorder it" the gamestop employee asks me.
"No"
"Sorry we're out." he says
"ok" I say and begin to walk away.
All of a sudden he pulls out a copy of Bioshock claiming he just found the last one. He then gives me a speech on why I should always preorder with Gamestop.... Fuck that.

... Anyways

Bioshock is pretty fucked.



The game itself is pretty easy to play. You can press a button and the game will tell you what you have to do, and where you have to go in order to do it. Just keep ammo and you'll be fine.





The story to Bioshock is something else. It takes place in 1960. Your character, Jack, is taking a trip to who knows where.. All of a sudden he wakes up in the ocean with fire around him (I think they crashed..) After some bullshit, your boy ends up underwater in the city of Rapture.











This place is fucked up. The beauty of the city is that it explains what it's all about as you progress. The story gets darker and darker as you go. I wouldn't say it's scary, but it's pretty crazy. I played this while I was at a low point and it almost made me lose faith in humanity... Almost
