Let me preface this article by saying that if you have not played BioShock yet, you shouldn't read after the spoiler warning - heck, ideally, you shouldn't read any reviews at all - this one included. In fact, you should stop reading anything and everything about BioShock and begin punching your friends who talk about it in the mouth until they shut up about it. Then, will you kindly please buy a copy, and upgrade your computer or buy/borrow/rent/steal an Xbox 360 to play it. Your platform of choice doesn't really matter. Or go be a parasite and pirate the PC version, since apparently that's what 2K wants you to do considering the disincentives they give you to buying it by implementing such draconian copy protection measures. Measures that, may I add, failed anyway seeing as the game was available through pirate channels before retail.

In fact, you probably even shouldn't read this review at all. The game is just that good and that subtle, that potentially cluing yourself into some things you may want to look for is bad enough.

Before I begin the spoilers, I will say this in case you need any more encouragement: BioShock is art. As a game, it is great but feels only good because the gameplay is quite simply blown away by the story and storytelling. Contrary to all comments otherwise, BioShock isn't a revolutionary game - it is merely a combination of System Shock and Jedi Knight, with a bit of Half-Life thrown in. Again, if it wasn't for the story, the previous sentence would seem ridiculous because who doesn't want System Shock, Jedi Knight, and Half-Life all in one package?
