In the Summer of 2007, a little game by the name of BioShock came along and shook the very foundation of what the community expected from first-person shooters.
The series immediately set a standard for storytelling in a video game and redefined what the community would come to expect from story-driven singleplayer games.
From those opening moments this franchise has given rise to some of the most iconic and mind-blowing moments this industry has seen in the last decade, including...
Hey Poor Player's James Davie Takes Us On A Bio-Shocking Deep Dive Into Irrational Games' Nautical Nightmare.
Gareth, Justin, and Michael at Skewed and Reviewed look at timely and topical entertainment news on their latest show including the latest video game movie and news of another in the works.
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Me too. Here's the best I can do:
El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
That moment with Sander Cohen had me tripping balls
Dat shotgun scene. I lost it when the lights went out.
It seems like the original holds the most WTF moments. It sure was a fine game for it's time. :)
The entire Sander Cohen section of the game was creepy as sh*t.
Loved BioShock, almost everything about it was amazing. Atmosphere, story, and gameplay. Ken Levine is one of my favorites. Hope to see more games out there that one day give the unique feel that BioShock gives, especially the first time playing it.
