Well; it is official. I do love the Xbox 360 platform. I did have one during the first months of its initial release and I was dissapointed. The thing was extreamly loud and I had the Red Ring of Death seven times on four different consoles.
Now originally; I got my new Xbox 360 to play and create some XNA titles and possibly release them on the marketplace for the third year project; but that went out of the window when I got Mass Effect and Bioshock for the bargin price of £10.
Now I have played through Mass Effect twice now and I have seen pretty much everything about the game and unlocked both good and bad endings; in preperation for the next title so it was time I moved on to Bioshock.
Now this was the first time I have played the game; but I have heard nothing but good things about it and it has got to be said; I love this game, the storyline and moral choice system are very well crafted and my first Big Daddy fight with the bouncer type scared the crap out of me when it put its drill directly into my face.
But I do have one major problem with this title and that I have seen it all before just because it is basically a remade version of System Shock 2 (One of my favourite games ever) with some art deco style and a dash of Ayn Rand for good measure, not that I am copying the zero punctuation review, I just agree with it.
Not I can't say that this is a bad thing because in my opinion it is only building on perfection because I still don't think that there is a better made PC game than System Shock 2, but adding the big daddy and little sister element to the game is perfect for a game like this and I felt was missing from System Shock 2; the gameplay mechanic that gives the player some sort of moral choice.
Overall; I am looking forward to Bioshock 2 and see what has happened to Rapture after the events of the first one; I just hope it doesnt come out at the same time as Mass Effect 2; as I do not want to make a real life moral choice and choose between the two games that I rearly like.
