BioShock
About
BioShock is a proprietary, paid shooting game developed in the United States, available on Windows, Linux (via PlayonLinux, Wine, Steam), Playstation, and Xbox. It is known for creating a living, unique, and unpredictable FPS experience that goes beyond 'run and gun corridors,' 'monster-closet AIs,' and static worlds. The game's narrative begins after a plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, leading to the discovery of a rusted bathysphere and descent into Rapture. Users can also suggest and vote on features for the game.
