Bioshock (PC)

I love to play games actually so playing in the PC and Mac have me really a great experience. One should definitely try it.

Wow! I downloaded Bioshock on Valve's content delivery system, STEAM, without a hitch. had the whole thing in less than 3 yours. From the moment the game starts, you can tell it's going to be a story to remember, as you watch the plane you are on crash into the ocean near a lighthouse. From then on, you descend the depths of the ocean to an underwater city called Rapture, created by the game's main antagonist as a perfect capitalist Utopia filled with the best and brightest that society has to offer. Unfortunately, as is usually the case, things go wrong after a gene-altering substance called ADAM is discovered in a sea slug.

You arrive about six months after a cataclysmic riot sparked by the rival factions, driven mad by ADAM. Rapture is now a leaking, creaking death trap and with the help of a mysterious ally named Atlas, you need to navigate through the city all the while upgrading your weapons and discovering new powers.

Bioshock manages to present the player with some very compelling philosophies surrounding economy and politics, without shoving it in your face. There are also some strong moments of moral choice, for example, whether to save characters known as Little Sisters along the way or harvest them for all their ADAM or saving them for less. Saving them presents a very moving scene showing the ADAM being drained from the child and waking up moments later, free from the parasitic worms that control them.

Very few games have managed to truly give the player any emotional response other than fear, but this is one with that proud accolade. This is a game capable of unseating the mighty Half-Life 2 as the greatest game ever, but we still have Episode 2 to wait for!
