On Bioshock:
I found it to be one of the gems of the last 5 years. But then I *love* story-based FPS games.
If you're expecting System Shock 2 again, you're getting some of it - the atmosphere is there, the action is even better. The graphics are extraordinary. Where the game is *revolutionary* is the sound - it's *incredible*.
If you want the rich research/RPG elements, it's not there. There's some minor crafting and weapon modification, but that's it.
All-in-all, I've got 0 regrets for my Bioshock purchase. CoC was a waste of time for me.
Now, back to Undying - there's a reason it won an award for being the Best Game No One Played. It's a classic.
