Bioshock Reviewed the Right Way
There is a hilarious zero-punctuation review of Bioshock floating around which actually hits hard and true:
Splicer: Go ahead and hack, I’ll politely wait until you are done to attack you voraciously
The review touches on the drastic dumbing down of the game for those consolers (hacking anyone?), the actually limited use of weapons / splicing / other skills, the unlimited regeneration points EVERYWHERE that make dying fun, and the storyline mirrors the original system shock to a T. But still, it’s a gorgeous game with a terrible ending, so enjoy the experience of it all.
