#9: who's your daddy?



Having finished Bioshock for the 3rd time today made me realise it's not just my favourite game of 2007. It's one of my favourite games ever. I don't think it's that far from games like Zelda, Ico or Metroid, they all have memorable characters, settings and story progress, and something I'm particuarly sensitive to: atmosphere. I can feel the ocean pushing down on me whenever I'm walking around in Rapture. It probably helps that I'm dead scared of vasts amount of water, I want to get out of there as fast as possible! Although it's still one of my favourite environments to be in (I almost consider it a holiday location haha), and I wouldn't surprise me if I go through it a fourth or even fifth time this year.

(also, I really like that wrist tattoo, some people actually got that tattoo after playing the game! It has more than one meaning in the game, so I like the ambiguity as well.)
