Bioshock (PS3)

Any time a game is released on one platform, and then ported to another a year later, the game often ends up seeming a bit dated and behind the curve. Unless, of course, that game is markedly ahead of the curve to begin with; such is the case with Bioshock. A year ago, Bioshock was an action-thriller game that took the Xbox 360 by storm and wowed even us jaded DigNews.com folks enough that we named ...

BioShock (PS3)

Bioshock is coming to the PS3. With that simple statement entire flame wars on the internet moved on to other exclusive titles, and silenced the bickering about Rapture and Plasmids.

However, what really makes Bioshock shine is the pure creative genius lovingly poured into every dank, rusty corner of ...

Bioshock

I’ll cut to the chase - Bioshock is easily one of the best games of the year. Now, what makes it so special isn’t some new graphics technology or some great gameplay innovation - most of the elements that makes Bioshock what it is can be tracked back to older games like the Half-Life series and even Bioshock’s spiritual predecessors, the System Shock games. However, while on a purely technical level there’s little here ...
