Just finished Bioshock and I gotta say

This game is way better than most games made for the last 3 years.

I got this for free, but I feel like I have to support this company who made this game so I might buy a few copies on sale to give to my friends.

If you're wondering if this game is worth buying? It is worth every penny and you'll be wondering why you're spending $60 dollars on ty games when games like this are worth less.

It's an amazing game. I'm really looking forward to Infinite. Ken Levine has definitely earned my trust.

I enjoyed Bioshock 2 as well. What it lacks in story it makes up in gameplay. Plus Minerva's Den is incredible for DLC. So I highly recommend picking it up on the next sale.

Yes, Bioshock is by far my favorite game of all time. It surpassed both Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask in my book, and I am a HUGE Zelda fan.


An excellent game, this is why gaming is turning into art.

Bio-shock is one of my favorite modern series. Multiple ways to save. Multiple ways to play, vita chamber off or on. Murder the little sisters or save them. Beautiful Art Deco environments. Great story. Great, different, and interesting combat.


Though there is certainly no guarantee, I'm hoping Infinite will be able to live up to the series as well though it's a totally different series in reality.

Yep a very Good game and to me is over-shadowed by Over hyped Titles.
Bioshock series is a must have for all gamers imo

Definitely one of my favs. It's a shame more games don't get as much love and passion from its devs like this one obviously did.

Absolutely one of my all time favorite series'. Bioshock was just pure art and I loved the music, atmosphere and gameplay. I don't care what others say, I loved Bioshock 2 just as much. I have very high hopes that Infinite can live up to the Bioshock greatness.

Bioshock is an amazing game. It's one of the five games that I rank as the most memorable I've played along with fear, metal gear solid 4, half life 2 and deus ex.

Also if you have a nvida card, use ao and fxaa from the driver panel. I use them along with adaptive vsync on a 120hz monitor to really enhance the look and feel of the game.

Bioshock is probably my favourite single player game of all time. Bioshock 2 wasn't quite as good but still outshines most games on the market.

Bio-Shock has GFWL largely because it included a totally unnecessary MP component and needed a framework for the MP. GFWL like Steam has MP tools for that as a part of it's makeup. They could have gone with Steam, GFWL or built their own from scratch. The unfortunately for many, chose to go with GFWL. It's not going to go away without a major patch and disabling of the MP part of the game. Hopefully Infinite won't waste time on MP but if it does, hopefully it won't use GFWL this time around. Either way though, It won't let GFWL keep me from buying Infinite.
