BIOSHOCK-ed!!!

Half-Life 2 wins purely on the strength of "Surface Tension".

That's Half-Life 1.

I can largely agree with InCreator here, though I did like the envirnoments but indeed it didn't deserve the attention and the insane ratings it got. I don't see why there was such a hype. I can simply give my arguments here but everything was said by InCreator, there are a load of games out there of which Bioshock kinda lended elements. The main problem I have with the reviews is that it's supposed to be scary, which (so far) it isn't. Every single 'scary' moment I already predicted, there wasn't a single jump outta your seat moment. Which Condemned certainly had.

Indeed. My mistake.

Half-Life 2 wins purely on the strength of "Highway 17".

I don't like scary horror games, or even scary horror films for that matter. So I'm GLAD Bioshock wasnt scary! 

(Although I sometimes make allowances for games, like Resident Evil 4, but then that wasnt really scary either so I'm okay with it!)

It was bound to happen sooner or later.  :'( :'( :'( :'(



The coffin is on its way.

edit: After awhile it goes back to green. But better get it fixed while i can.

wrench battles?
Play Condemned: Criminal Origins.

Decent FPS horror? Darkness WITH shivers?
Penumbra: Overture

You hit the splicer on the head there. Two excellent creepy games that really scared the shit out of me. Can't wait for their respective sequels. And even though I agree they're better, I enjoy Bioshock very much.

I haven't finished it yet, and apart from a bit of a crashing tantrum it threw up in the beginning it runs pretty well. I LOVE using the plasmids, particularly and mainly the telekinesis one. I hardly use any other. Chucking dead splicers into living splicers and killing them that way never gets old. Ammo and such is a bit too plentiful, but because I always play these games harvesting all possible resources and conserving them, this actually forces me to take out a weapon more often to free up some space for new bullets that I can gather up and stuff in my virtual pockets.

Overall, I kinda feel like I'm playing Deus Ex: Lovecraft edition. Which for me is not a bad thing. The fact that they even included the infamous Deus Ex security code 0451 = win.
