BIOSHOCK!!!!!

this game is simply awesome!

I cant stop playing it...at night until the wee hours and in the morning before going to work.

This is the first game in a very long time makes me want to play it that bad and curse when i have to stop and go to sleep.

The atmosphere is so dark, immersive and keeps you into the game. I jumped a couple of times out of my sofa due to some events in the game.

the story is really interesting and you just want to hear the next radio transmission or audio recorder that you find in Rapture.

there are so many rooms to explore which makes the experience seem less linear since you can explore if you want and get rewards for it.

there are so many choices in the game to be made : do I save the little sisters, which powers to equip and which upgrade should I use, how do I kill this next guy, etc...

GAME OF THE YEAR I say!!!!

there are some minor annoyances like the hacking of the safes (which are so ridiculously hard sometimes) and the fact that you never die but respawn around the location you die and come back with enemies as you left them; makes the use of first aid kit useless in some fights (against the Big Daddy).

anyways I just love that game!

update----------------------------------------------------

"SPOILER here"

I played the game twice to see how different the game is when you kill all little sisters or save them all...

well it sucks pretty bad... I mean the only difference is the ending cinematic and 2 lines of dialogue from the little sisters in their hideout!

For a game that says it's about player choices well the game doesnt provide those other outcome... if I kill all the sisters why am I still not buddy with Ryan or Fontaine !?!

So my second walkthrough has been a disapointment...unfortunately :(

kinda cool that if you dont kill the artist dude you'll see him later in the game ... kinda cool ;)

really liked the theater area for all the little moments we dont usually get in games or in shooters!
