My boyfriend recently purchased Bioshock for the XBox 360 and we've just recently started playing it. Didn't think that I'd be all that interested (I've always been a Nintendo/Metroid kind of girl), but I have to say that I'm fairly impressed.

This game is post-apocalyptic, scifi first-person shooter joy. This is really the first time that I've tooled around with the XBox, so I'm having issues aiming and shooting. Personally, I prefer to whack people with the wrench.



Anyone else play Bioshock?

Yeah I did play Bioshock on the PC.

It was a good game, the graphics were pretty amazing. And the Art-Deco design looked really good.

The game itself had an interesting plot.

Must admit, I haven't played it for a while (since I reinstalled my PC). Have been meaning to get back into it but there are so many good games....

To tell you the truth, it's been a long, long time since I've gotten into a video game... Metroid Prime for the Game Cube was the last one. The boyfriend got me the XBox for my Birthday but I've been hesitant to play any games for fear of getting sucked in... But Bioshock is pretty damn captivating...

Again, problem is, I'm a terrible shot. Oh, and I'm a total pussy when things are jumping out at me. :rolleyes:

My boyfriend: But you love horror movies. How can this scare you?!


I think I'd probably fare better if I were playing this on the PC rather than the XBox.

My favorite scares in that game are when something sneaks up on you and just kind of waits... so when you turn your character around there's a creature staring right at you. They did that with System Shock 2 as well, very effective. :)

I do find FPS games to be easier/more intuitive with keyboard and mouse. So I tend to get them on PC if they are available. Can't come to terms with aiming with a control pad.

One of the creepy doctors were doing that after the boyfriend found the Inferno Plasma. Mark turned our character around a little bit...

Me: THERE'S SOMEONE THERE!
Mark: *turns in other direction*
Creepy Doctor: *ATTACKS*
Me: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH I TOLD YOOOOOOOOU!
Mark: GodDAMN it, Amanda!

It's funny because Mark doesn't scare easily at all... Unless I jump and scream... THAT'S when he jumps out of his skin.

I'm also impressed with the use of light and shadow, and I love the fact that if you hide, the beasties will just whale on each other.

I honestly recommend Bioshock for those of you who haven't played it. It's brilliantly done, beautiful, and wonderfully macabre. Not to mention, it combines three of my favorite things: Science Fiction, Post-Apocalypse, and Eugenics. mwahahahahahaha

I just wish I was a better shot... And not as much of a pussy. :o

We're currently looking for that damned dentist office key.
