Probably the best game that the Xbox has is BioShock even if it is already about a year old. It combines not only stunning graphics and heart pumping sound, but also an interesting and complex game play with an amazing story that draws you to the game. It is a shooting game that has revolutionized your old expectations of what a first person shooter game is. Aside from shooting enemies, you also get to do special tasks and solving puzzles. It is not your average shooting game as every time you move a level, you get to pick up new weapons, special powers and items as well as new areas to explore. BioShock is set on an underwater city called Rapture, which was designed in the 1950s to be a utopia. But, this idealistic society became corrupted thus, you find yourself surrounded with genetically mutated inhabitants that are bent on feasting on your fresh body. The game is very addictive as each move you make leads to different outcome so playing the game over and over again will not be boring.
