If you haven’t heard of Bioshock yet, then you’ve probably been living in a cave somewhere. In the off chance that you *have* been living in a cave (Osama is that you?), here’s the basic need to know:
This shooter is set in an steampunk-ish underwater dystopian city called Rapture, sometime in the 1960s. You can genetically modify your character to sport certain abilities (like shooting lighting/fire/etc) and you use these abilities to survive various crazy mutant people and angry steam-driven robots. There are multiple endings based on how nice or mean you were during the game.
The story is *compelling* and the gameplay is near-flawless. This is not something you want to miss if you’re even vaguely interested in the genre.
The PS3 version makes up for its late release by featuring a lot of downloadable content and a harder game difficulty setting.
