Bioshock 2

A truly unique game that has an epic storyline, wonderfully diverse characters, and excellent game play.

In the depths of an underwater world, you play a “Big Daddy”. Living in a suit, you peruse the city around you looking for answers, enemies, and the little orphan girl you are supposed to protect. Anyone who has played the first Bioshock game will know of the dark, weird style, and the second instalment is more of the same.

Your character can use weapons with one hand, and plasmids with the other. The weapons include brilliantly devious devices such as grenade launchers, shotguns with explosive ammo, and mini turrets that shoot away at all of your enemies.

The more exciting element, however, is the plasmids. Your magical hand (which uses a substance called EVE to power) can have the ability to freeze people, set enemies on fire, shoot swarms of bees, and even use telekinesis to throw objects. It is so much fun once you master it.

Players may find the storyline too complex, and get confused especially in the beginning. However, the sheer imagination that has gone into this game should not be undervalued, and anyone who appreciates magnificent writing will be pleased with Bioshock 2.

One of the best examples of why Gaming is slowly taking over the world of culture.
