BioShock

After having played both the PC and XBOX 360 versions of this game last September, I was unable to find many flaws at all with the game. The storytelling is utterly fantastic, the narrative is imaginative, the art style of Rapture is original and borrows heavily from American/New York/Chicago culture from the 1950's. Considering that the visuals are a year old, I won't criticize them much. They could have tried to make it look as pretty as a PC running at maximum with DX10 settings, but it just looks a lot (if not exactly the same) as the XBOX 360 version of the game.
Everything about this game is fantastic. The controls seem a little clunky to me, but that's only because I don't really enjoy playing games using the Unreal Engine. Using Plasmids to solve combat puzzles is great, and each Plasmid is unique enough to not create repetitive combat puzzle solving.

This is an absolute must buy for anyone that's a year late, especially when it's retail price is £29.99. With an extra difficulty where the enemies have extremely high health, and another mode of some sort (which if I remember, involves waves of enemies?) I could be wrong.
Get this game on release day, play it all night, and enjoy the hell out of it. The storytelling is definitely the sole reason to buy this game IMO. It is brilliant!

Have played the demo for this after downloading it from the playstation store and was very impressed.
Now without trying to confuse people and sound contradictory, the game contains a lot of elements from other games, but carried off as tho they are original ideas.
The ability to carry weapons in one hand while injecting a 'plasma?' into the other arm to produce lightning bolts or fire etc is quite clever in the way that you use one button each to flick thru your various wepons and one button each to fire.
The rest of the button controls are basic also but effective to the playing of the game.
The visuals are very attractive and shows that the ps3 is developing nicely towards its potential.
The gameplay seems to be a cross between solving puzzles (like when reprogramming various machines for your own benefit) and action (shooting, self defence etc).
The game also seems quite grusome, so the 18 rating is understandable, if maybe three years over the top.… more »

If you have a ps3 and are registered on the store then it is worth downloading and trying because this is a lovely gem of a game and should sell vqey well on release.
I don't know if it will have online capability, but the possibilities could be endless with people meeting each other in various locations in the game as they play it.
This would add to the endless variaty that the developers have already promised. No two plays are the same they reckon so playability and longevity should make it value for money.

From what i've seen, this game promises to be awesome
