Second: Bioshock really does set the standard for first person shooter games. You may have heard all the buzz about it, and you can rest assured that it is all accurate. This game is great from the very first frame.
The graphics and background sound are appropriately eerie and pull you into this creepy world you’re playing in. The storyline is clear and guides the gameplay throughout the game. In fact, it is such a strong storyline that it sometimes feels like you’re in a role playing game instead of a first person shooter.

You get to explore an unknown underwater city where things have gone from bad to worse really quickly. Your job is to find and use the right weapons and actions to survive this creepy world.
Players have the ability to customize their characters in some really clever ways. You can change your character up enough to give you something of an advantage as you go through the game.
The enemies in Bioshock can get a little redundant, but that doesn’t take away from the overall fun factor of this game. Seasoned first person shooter gamers may feel that the game is a tad too easy on the player as well. But the entire package, from graphics to audio to gameplay, makes this game a necessity for anyone who owns an Xbox 360.

Third: I’ve been playing this game for five solid hours, ever since I brought it home first thing this morning. It definitely lives up to the expectations I had for it from seeing a demo last week. It’s really fun to play and pulls the gamer into the adventure right off the bat. I love that you can do so many things with the environment. Your character can do just about anything, from knocking someone out with a crowbar to inventing new items.

The nice thing about this game is that it is fairly straightforward and easy to understand. It feels a lot like one of those old choose your adventure books. The graphics and gameplay really make all of my other games look pretty pitiful. There’s creepy music and sound effects that follow you around through the game and give it a really eerie atmosphere that just adds to the fun of the game. If you own an Xbox 360 you should definitely get a copy of Bioshock. You really won’t be disappointed. But you should also set aside a ton of time to play it because once you start you won’t want to stop.

1. Review of Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood for XBOX 360 and PlayStation 3

Bioshock is a first person shooter game by 2K Games – formerly Irrational Games – the minds behind the critically acclaimed System Shock series. As a spiritual successor to that series, Bioshock takes the winning formula of a haunting atmosphere, deep storyline, and great action gameplay and updates it for a new generation.

In Bioshock, the player takes on the role of a man named Jack. The story begins with Jack aboard a plane which promptly crashes somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. As the only survivor, Jack makes his way to a nearby lighthouse, which is actually the entrance to an underwater city known as Rapture. Built by a visionary named Andew Ryan, Rapture was meant to be a city of science and progress, where great minds could pursue their research without sanction. This leads to great advances in biotechnology and the introduction of ADAM, a material that can rewrite the human genome, granting miraculous powers and superhuman capabilities.

However, something has gone horribly wrong. When Jack arrives in Rapture, he finds himself under attack by splicers – violently mad ADAM addicts – and the city’s defenses controlled by a seemingly paranoid and insane Andew Ryan. To survive, Jack must arm himself and enhance his own body with ADAM, gaining new powers as he progresses through the now derelict city.

Throughout the game, the player comes across audio diaries that chronicle the alternately inspiring and horrific history and downfall of Rapture. There’s also an important ethical decision to be made. Little Sisters, genetically altered adolescent girls who can collect ADAM, can either be rescued or sacrificed to gain more power. Harvesting the Sisters grants the player more ADAM to upgrade abilities – but at what cost? Of course, to make the choice at all, Jack must first defeat the Big Daddies, the hulking guardians of the Little Sisters. The core gameplay of  Bioshock is that of a first person shooter. Jack employs both standard firearms and ADAM-powered plasmids to do things such as project fire, use telekinesis, and control the minds of enemies.

Key Features:

• Atmospheric presentation draws you into beautiful and horrifying world of Rapture

• Learn the disturbing history of Rapture through audio diaries found around the city

• Explore an open and fully realized underwater city

• Experiment with different combinations of firearms and superpower-granting plasmids to defeat your enemies

• Collect items and money from the environment and use them to upgrade weapons, ammunition and plasmids, and even build new weapons and ammo

• Choose to either save or harvest the Little Sisters – do you choose power, or mercy?

• Battle insane splicers and the massive Big Daddies, and use hacking skills to work your way past security turrets and cameras
