BioShock is my GOTY 2007. It is not only a piece of art, it is one fantastic game. I'm not going to write much about it, but hey, nobody asked me to. Anyway, BioShock is one of the most atmospheric and beautiful games ever made - it looks stunning, and the soundtrack and design is awesome. The gameplay is also very interesting, as you get to use not only regular weapons, but also cool special abilities with your ''left arm''. You can set people on fire, freeze them, send waves of bees upon them, and do other pretty amazing stuff. There are some things that I dont like about BioShock, such as the ending, but there's not many of these things. BioShock is a must-buy for every gamer!

Pros

Great atmosphere
Well told story
Awesome gameplay
Very good soundtrack

Cons

You can get lost in Rapture, quite easily in some parts
The ending isn't that good or satisfying.

9.5/10
