BIOSHOCK is an amazing game that will temporarily consume your life if you let it.

In between working, eating and sleeping you'll be searching for spare scraps of free time to fire up the Xbox and get your digital fix.

Why? Because it's one of those rare games that engages you on every level from the rich storyline and immersive surroundings to imaginative weapons and diverse character upgrades.

You play as the sole survivor of a plane crash who discovers Rapture, an underwater world that has been torn apart by a genetic civil war.

In this secret domain, scientific pursuits have been prioritised over moral imperatives resulting in a society of dangerous denizens who have readily modified their DNA to breaking point.

Talking of Rapture residents, the enemies are terrifying and will leap at you with a feral ferocity, and watch out for the disturbing combination of big daddies' and little sisters' Bioshock is also one of those games that has been painstakingly created from start to finish and the authentic art-deco world with its taut shadowy atmosphere will have you enamoured throughout.
