A first person shooter that combines art deco graphics, science fiction, creative weapons, and a deep and scary storyline? Sign me up!

Read why it made the list after the jump!


Besides receiving the little title of Game Of The Year from numerous sites and shows, including G4’s X-Play, Bioshock broke some serious ground in the shooter genre.

So it didn’t have any multi-player, who cares?!

The style, action and gameplay was just too good. I didn’t miss multi-player for a minute. In fact, if given the chance, I’d choose an excellent single player experience like BioShock over a mediocre “slapped-on” multi-player any day.

I’m looking at you OVERLORD.

Anyway, the “plasmid” abilities and cool weapon combinations allowed you to play the game differently every time. It was certainly a milestone in gaming creativity, and it’s hopefully a sign of even greater things to come.

Bioshock also gets bonus points for creating the “Big Daddies,” probably one of the creepiest baddies to ever grace my HD tv.

Gotta love Mr. Bubbles.

That’s why Bioshock checks in at #62 on Sarcastic Gamer’s Top 100 Gaming moments of 2007!

I didnt really like it much, sure Im probably one of the 5 who didnt, but it really wasnt up to my standards. If I play a shooter, I want to shoot without running out of ammo in 5 seconds, and as far as the "scary factor" goes it did give me a minor case of the "jibblies" but I am also easily frightened. I never really cared about great graphics either, I will still play SNES and 64 games without getting frustrated at the comparitively bad graphics (unlike quite a large amount of gamers).

But anyway, I jsut dont see how everyone gives it so much respect. Im not dissing the game, but I am just saying that I cant see how everyone praises it so much. Oh well, there isnt anything I can do about what evryone thinks about it so it doesnt really matter what I say anyway.

I admit it was an amazing game. It really was. It's just not my kind of game.

Never had I actually jigged along to 1940s music....

Never had I enjoyed to melee over tactical weaponry....

Never had I been so impressed with level desgin

Until Bioshock.

Seriously, he says it all.

yeah, it's hysterical. He does make good points how it copies from System Shock. However there is nothing like BioShock on a home console that I can recall.

no on the console level it was revolutionary

Sorry, but I cant in all good graces, give them that excuse. That's like saying "we just made the same game as last time, but we made it for controller Y, isnt it AMAZING?!?!!?" Sorry, but I dont buy it for one second. If they did it better, then sure, but that clearly is not the case here.

I mean, he actually didnt go far enough... the story itself even has the EXACT SAME TWISTS! (I will explain by private note if asked... I refuse to give spoilers.) I was laughing as I saw it.... and I dont even want to play it anymore.

The more I think about it, the more I think Irrational has finally fallen off their pedastal as my favorite studio... and maybe it's better they WONT do System Shock 3.

Damn I loved Bioshock.
Just think, if it was bad, we'd be calling it Biocock

I loved Bioshock. Best single player experience since HL2, however i have no motivation at all to go back...played through it once but i got bored when i tried again.

The game of the year should be higher up on the list. Great Game. Great Story. Great Graphics. Great Bad Guy. Okay ending.
