Bioshock

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Video Games
Genre: Role-Playing
Console:Xbox 360
This game has me staying up till the wee hours of the morning. I don't think I've ever played an RPG that has me hooked to this degree. I'm not normally one to get lost in FPS-land (first person shooter), but in the case of Bioshock, I'm lost, and happily so. The graphics are incredible, the design is so beautiful, and the gaming itself so addictive. Warning: some of the images can be scary, so I suggest that, if you're skittish, to play it in daylight and with company in the room with you.

This game is just so awesome... I don't know what else to say.

Bernie Janda said...

I'm a bit bio-Shocked to learn that you actually play this game. Cool!

Chino Hernandez said...

Wow, I am surprised to know that you like these kind of games. :-)

Hi, Lea! Any updates regarding Cinderella? Will it be early or late August? Also, if it's going to be in Japan as well, do you know when? My hubby wants to go there so we could see you and Mario, too. Hehe. I know you're an XBOX user, but you like the Wii too, right? :) It's so funny because I was watching you on YouTube earlier, and my husband said when he sees you now, he sees you playing Bioshock. I think he thinks you're cool.

Much love from Cali...

The game is awesome, and addictive! I finished the game twice already, and am about to start up again just for the achievements. Congrats on Avenue Q! I read the reviews posted by Tita GR and Rachel. Wonderful!

My husband likes this game too, and he's trying to get me to play and I'm not a gamer.

Denise Linsangan said...

hmmm....I shall try. don`t really like RPGs except halo 3! freaki`n awesome! sounds interesting.

Mark Macas said...

time to get an xbox360, i've been really putting it off since i got my ps3

XXXX YYYY said...

my husband also finished this one. he told me to ask you whether you have tried killing the girls (harvest, i think)?

Lea Salonga said...

Yes, I have gone one round where I only harvested the Little Sisters... don't try this if you're going for the Tonic Collector achievement, since those teddy bears contain a few special plasmids or tonics. It's worth doing once... pretty freakin' sweet.

I've tried playing video games but I always end up getting sick. I have very bad motion sickness. It sounds cool though :-)

I want Bioshock. My boyfriend and I only have 2 games since we just got 360 last month. You know, gets a little expensive :P. For now, halo 3 is fun. You should try it if you like FPS. Also has a cool story (if you read or play it from halo 1). Assassin's Creed is awesome too. But it's not quite FPS. More just RPG and the killing is brutal :P

XXXX YYYY said...

what game are you playing now? are you playing mass effect?

Remund Labios said...

I was repeatedly looking back and forth at your review and your profile picture, and was trying to grasp the mere thought that Ms. Lea is actually a gamer too! Looking forward to hearing more reviews like this from a celebrity/Pinay hero/gamer!

Che Baldemor said...

wow!!! im amazed that you're a gamer!

Andie GoYanko said...

O.O kewl!!! I remember hearing a "It Had to be You" instrumental in the background....while trying to fight one of those creepy nurses.

Emma Simmons said...

Haha, it is so awesome that you are a gamer! I have never played Bioshock, but my boyfriend LOVES that game. I recommend Dead Rising. Hopefully you would like it; I love it!

Mich M.D. said...

coolness! i heard very good reviews about this game, too, which i'd really like to get, but since i don't have an xbox 360 console, i guess that means purchasing one first, huh?

manang, have you also tried halo 3 yet? don't know if you're a fan of the series, but i've played the first two and they were fun. :) i love the music, too.

So I was in a video game store with a friend, and we were deciding which game to pick out of Far Cry 2, Crysis, and Bioshock, and I turned to him and said, "Lea Salonga played Bioshock, therefore I will play Bioshock." :))

Will try it out as soon as exams end; looks great, though.
