  Happy Belated You're Amazing Bioshock

  So, who cares if it came out over a year and a half ago; and who cares that it was such a huge hit when it released, because Bioshock my friends, in my humble opinion, is one of those games that will look like it's 25 when it's heading for the bargain bin nursing home of Retailland. So I waited for the hype to die off (and because I couldn't afford a 360 for a while) but the experience was no less sweet; maybe, for me, for those other gamers who don't run out and buy the hot new game the moment it drops or a week later, or even a year later, maybe takin in a killer game after the noise has died down is just like seeing un unbelievable sunset in a remote location, without the distraction of cars whizzing by or planes clouding the view. Bare with my analogy, and I could ramble on about this topic for pages but I think you get the picture. So I wanted to put down just a few of my own thoughts about Bioshock as I finally finished it tonight, with a little help from my copilot, my wife. How to describe Bioshock. I must first say, it is the most amazing game visually I have ever seen. And one of the most amazing showcases of art in any medium for that matter. It doesn't take the cake on ever aspect of graphics for me: the character modeling isn't in say Mass Effect's league, but for overall quality of graphics - second to none. The story was incredible, so many twists, especially towards the end. I've never ever played a game with a story as well-written as this one. And perhaps, nothing may top it in that category either. I also loved how gameplay-wise, it was a lot more than meets the eye, when you pop in the disc for the first time. All rolled up in one a FPS, a survival horror AND in some ways a RPG. the voice-acting was very impressive as was the disconsorting nd moody music, though, there could have been more of it. But yea, level design-wise, art direction, simply astounding and not just once. Almost every step I took, my jaw was dropping. Had you not been able to interact with the beauty in these levels or had they been conveyed in a different way, it would have been eye candy but bland-tasting. But the way they did it, the way Levine envisioned the world of Rapture, was enough for me to get sucked in and want to stay there.

  10,000 Caps

  So, needless to say, I have been playing A LOT of Fallout 3 since buying it Halloween weekend last year; though there was that weird, unique occurrence where I actually "put it away" for about 3 weeks, after the first couple plays. Prior to purchasing it, I had been playing a ton of Oblivion, and I figured, with a lot of similarities but also differences between the two games, mixed in with the initial shock (does it ever really go away!? ) of the harshness of the wastes, it just felt weird to play. But of course, after getting use to it, man, I am sooo glad I held on to this one! And so, after hitting the 10,000 cap milestone this last Saturday, I can't help but think back to that first very bright day out of 101 and laugh. To think I was discarding caps like trash. Geesh.
