A literary masterpiece of a game.

Bioshock contains one of the most thoughful plots and settings ever seen in gaming. Not many games will touch the idea of a “me first” society, but Bioshock does, and shows its opinion that in said society, the selfish attitude would result in addicts, murderers, and psychotic people. And it’s all tightly wound in a solid FPS where your main enemy is the splicer, a person who has so relied on the effects of Plasmids and EVE that they have lost all sense of morality. In addition, the graphics are still good today, with excellent water effects and a beautifully rendered city called Rapture. It questions the role of the player character and is a good experience, not only for book nerds like me who read Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, but for anyone looking for something a little different.
