Imagine a game that defies convention. A game that marks out its own path in the FPS genre and tackles new challenges with confident flair. A game that isn’t afraid to conjure feelings of pity and guilt as well as exhilaration and joy. A game that is prepared to hand the reigns of control over the environment to the user and allow them to use it as they see fit. Combine these seemingly too-good-to-be-true ideals and you’ll start to get a good idea just why Bioshock is being hailed as not only one of the most important games of this generation, but one of the most important games of all time.
