Bioshock for PS3 was released in fall of 2008, and was an immediate success as a first-person shooter. But be careful young-ins it has been rated M for mature for: Sexual Themes, Strong Language, Blood and Gore, Drug Reference, Intense Violence, so you know its gotta be good. Honestly I got this game for christmas and haven’t had the time to play it until a few weeks ago. Right off the bat it started to annoy me because it seemed like hours for the initial load. Then I was prompted to adjust my TV’s brightness so that I could barely see a grey box, and then I knew this game was intentionally going to scare the shit out of me, awesome. I did NOT want to get out of the elevator into the dark rusted room accompanied by unidentifiable shrieks, so I took that time to figure out all my extra features on my controller. After getting use to injecting myself with colorful syringes (eve or adam) and zapping the crap out of splicers(genetically altered humans), I was introduced to the little sisters and the bid daddies. After defeating the big daddy you can choose to either save or harvest the child to get more adam, I tried a little of both but found that I prefer the extra power instead of the extra abilities the orphanage gave me. But I did a little research and found someone that actually charted the benefits of saving vs harvesting. Then there are several convient machine where you can modify your abilities and add or buy new abilities ranging from telekinesis (where you can grab and throw dead splicers at living splicers, with your MIND), incinerate , enrage (where you can cause your enemy to attack each other), insect swarm (where you unleash hordes of hornets at your enemies), and ridiculous amount more. After about 14hrs of solid gameplay my eyes would strain to focus and my hands lost feeling, I asked myself ‘ have I eaten today?’ and then the all important ‘what is today?’. To say the the game is beautiful, in a dark creepy way, the controls handle effortlessly, and you can easily be sucked into the story behind the city of Rapture. By far this is the most addicting game I’ve ever played.
