The past, the future, the compulsion

I have just completed Bioshock for the 2nd time this evening. I have never played a game and then run through it all again immediately at a different level yearning for the same (but different) experience. What makes this game amazing?

1. Story-telling and virtual interaction

Tape recorders, friends, enemies, lost souls and children all make not only atmosphere but enriched interactions.

2. Design

Art deco under the sea narrated by maniacal meglomanics and occupied by rampant steampunk crackhounds.

3. Ethics

Save the little girls or harvest them? Eventually your choice changes the outcome and the endings (or beginnings) are changed forever.

Bioshock 2 – Hell YES!
