Bioshock Kills
Bioshock, created by the legendary company Bethesda who've brought Fallout 3 and The Elder Scrolls Installations both previously and after Bioshock, have created another FPS horror to join amongst the lines of Dead Space, Resident Evil and many other Horror FPS. Bioshock is a great Horror FPS (First Person Shooter) for those who like to get scared and want gameplay that affects your decisions made throughout the game.
Unlike TES:Oblivion, Bioshock has limited free roam, and can disappoint those who are so attached to all the features TES:Oblivion offers. Bioshock would not be a suggested choice for MMO users.
If your among the Hardcore Gamers, Bioshock provides addictive gameplay and an engaging story, which will encourage you to play from beginning to end. Bioshock has re-invented Horror FPS'.
The Bioshock Visuals powered by Unreal Hardware, and grosteque visuals will leave you completely involved within the game for many weeks to come.
Cons? That's right folks! No Cons mean that this game has been designed almost to perfection, and you will not be disappointed!

Pure Amazing
Bioshock is a masterpiece. The gameplay is intense, the maps are beautiful and truly spooky, and the story will keep you playing. It's amazingly unique. All of my gamer-friends told me to buy it when I got a Playstation 3 and I'm glad I did. I have spent about 10 hours total with it so far. I'm still a ways to go before I beat it, but I already label it as a favorite for PS3. I seriously doubt that anyone will just absolutely loathe this game. It's not your ordinary FPS.
Can't wait for Bioshock 2.

BIOSHOCK SMACKS YOU WITH A WRENCH
I can't get enough of this game. I was totally sucked in by the great story and the very new and innovative game controls. I really think that the idea of an underwater utopia is something that has never been done in a game before. Characters are well done as well.

BioShock was Awesome
Since buying my Ps3 Bioshock is the best game I have played and is probably one of my favorites of all time.
The story of the Rapture is one of the best storylines for a game and it keeps you hooked. Great graphics, weapons and enemies. The game was an experience in itself.
At no point in the game did I get bored or disinterested.
If you haven't played it, buy it.
I can't wait for BioShock 2
