BioShock - killing spree
So many ways to die in 60 seconds
Jul 18, 2007
It's no secret that BioShock is one of the most anticipated games of the year. As such, it's been covered to high hell, with countless pages scattered across the internet, every one of them gushing about this oppressive, atmospheric shooter. Our E3 2007 appointment with the game began like most others, so we were prepared to let the coverage slide for once just to focus on other games for the time being. Well, that plan went out the window once we saw how many crazies you can mow down in no ...   » Read Full BioShock preview
BioShock: Hands-on with new area
Bizarre underwater forest and advanced powers emerge from depths
Jun 25, 2007
We never get tired of looking at BioShock - the underwater dystopia is literally swimming in evocative ambiance. In this clammy, stifling setting swarming with twitchy Splicers and hulking Big Daddies, it feels as though a few hundred thousand tons of pressure could come crushing in on you at any moment. Until it does, we're more than happy to explore the beautifully vivid horrors of ...   » Read Full BioShock preview
BioShock - first hands-on
A nightmare you don't want to end
Jun 8, 2007
The concept is unnerving enough. Trapped in a dark and forgotten metropolis, miles below the ocean's surface, you must battle a population of mutated, tormented souls to avoid becoming one yourself. Images and videos of this place - with their hulking mechanical monsters, corpse scavenging children and genetic sideshow freaks - only deepen the dread. But nothing can prepare you for actually playing BioShock... for walking its murky halls and meeting its demented denizens personally. Nothing ...   » Read Full BioShock preview
BioShock
Piping hot details from Rapture's dystopia
Mar 1, 2007
Normally when you shoot someone in the head, youd want that to be the end of it. Within a game, that is. At best youd expect the defeated foe to flash briefly before dissolving into a pile of ammo or health. At worst, theyll remain on the floor indefinitely, their innards staining the nearest textures. But whatever happens, theres one thing you could bank on - once an enemys down, theyre goners. No one will rush to see if theyre alright. No one gives a ...   » Read Full BioShock preview
Bioshock
Daddy knows best
Feb 12, 2007
Those that have been following Bioshock as closely as we have might possibly find themselves experiencing an emotion completely at odds with the ethos of Irrationals organic, totally unscripted adventure FPS. You might find yourself a bit bored of it even. For the last year Irrational have been greedily guarding its game, only allowing us to see a select few elements of gameplay. And although we love the Big Daddies, they were starting to feel a bit familiar. It felt like we knew everything ...   » Read Full BioShock preview

Ugh, it's really annoying how this would add to the list of my 100% achievement games, if the hard mode was a little less... well... hard, lol.
britzyXtheXvamp  - 4 months 24 days ago
best game in the world! Yes, I will agree it is some what repeditive, but compared to Assassin's Creed, it is not very noticable lol! I give a perfect 10! ;)
tonyromo9  - 8 months 4 days ago

1hndman  - 8 months 23 days ago
