Week 1

For this weeks blog i am going to be talking mostly about the game Bioshock. It's a game about a guy who was in a plane crash and ended up on this tiny man-made island that is only just like a statue in the middle of the ocean. On the island he gets in an elevator that takes him down to this huge under water city called Rapture city. It is a beautiful game. I played it on the ps3.

In the last part of the game there was a series of twists that totally blew my mind. The people that you thought were good ended up being bad and the ones that you thought were bad ended up even worse (or sometimes not so bad). It was pretty crazy though. I don't want to say too much because I don't want to spoil the ending for people who are going to play the game. There is also part of the game where you can make a choice that kind of continues with you throughout the game. I am very excited to play this game again because the choice that I made was really cool, so I want to see what happens if you choose to go the other way.

All in all Bioshock was an amazing game! The team that made it also made another game called Fallout that I am going to start playing soon. I am looking forward to that. Right now I started playing God of War again which is also an amazing game. Ill try to write about that next week, or Metroid Prime 3 for the Wii.

  1. Actually, Fallout 3 was developed by Bethesda Softworks, the guys behind Morrowind and Oblivion. It's a pretty fun game... definitely a few steps up from Oblivion, if you ask me. When you play Fallout 3, be sure to talk to Burke, the shady guy in the first town. He's got an interesting deal for you. Bwahaha.

    The Bioshock team is hard at work on a sequel, which should be out next year. I'm definitely looking forward to that.

  2. I agree! This game deserved game of the year. I hope to be able to write epic story lines such as this one day. The sequel is going to be amazing also.

  3. The simple line, "Would you kindly" has some of the most twisted plot devices i've seen in gaming. This game breaks the traditional linear platform game by making the gamer FEEL like he has no control over the outcome, that his path is all ready determined...until the protagonist Jack realizes the startling truth beneath Rapture.

    I'm exstatic for Bioshock 2, due Febuary 9th.
