Bioshock is great. It is the story of a man who wakes up in the ocean and stumbles into an underwater city full of grumpy people. In this city it is not only common, but encouraged, to buy chemical supplements and inject them willy nilly into your body. This seems to have had a negative effect on the general population, but it doesn't stop you from doing it. Bioshock features monsters and madness, suspense and surprises, twists and turtles, parents and powerups.

Pros:

• Atmosphere. Bioshock's environment is completely unique. It's a city with a real story to it, and you learn about it from the plot and the environment itself. It's beautiful and creepy and immersive. The music is awesome, the art is awesome, the NPC dialogue is awesome. Bioshock's atmosphere is awesome.
  
• Plot. Bioshock's story is complex, deep, and of course interesting. It's constantly engaging, you always want to keep going to find out what the hell is going on, and of course what the hell happened. It poses questions about individuality, capitalism, government, morality, selfishness... maaaaaan, it's great.
  
• Nifty combat. You get to use superpowers, but you are never overpowered. Combat is always challenging. Enemies are varied and interesting. Big daddies are so fresh. They are terrifying.
  
• Length. Bioshock is actually a long game (31 hours for me), but it doesn't overstay its welcome. It's most definitely not padded, it's always moving forward. You get your money's worth.

Cons:

• You collect way more money and goods than you can ever use. You just fill up on everything and have nothing interesting to buy.
  
• Honestly, the guns feel a little... man, I don't even know how to describe it. Floaty? Disconnected? Not smooth?

Conclusion:
Bioshock is fantastic and you will be thinking about it long after you've completed it. Buy it, yo.
