Bioshock, what a game. While it didn’t transcend the FPS genre, it certainly innovated where it could. The ability to combine “Plasmids” such as Telekinesis and Enrage (which could attract a far away object or cause an ememy to attack one of his own kind) with weapons, really made for a game that just flowed effortlessly. The level detail was staggering, being able to look out of Rapture’s thick glass walls and spot marine life aswell as the rest of the submerged city made you really feel like you were miles from home.

I have just finished this game, the sense of story really is paramount to this game as you learn about why Rapture was created, how it descended into ruin and how your part in the whole game is played. Finishing couldnt have come at a better time, seeing as I am due to receive the latest instalment in the Halo series; Halo 3.

Halo 2 was mauled by critics because of it’s cliffhanging ending and it’s one-dimensional single player. It did however take multiplayer gaming to a whole new level. Halo 3 has been created for the Xbox360, making it the first in the Halo series to be specifically for a next-gen console. I was fortunate enough to get a beta-invite for the game when I purchased Crackdown, new weapons, new options and significantly different physics showed millions of us what we were to expect when the 26th of September roles around.

4 Player Cooperative inside Single Player mode, Saved Films (a complete recording of your multiplayer match) and much more, looks for an exciting few days without any sleep
