BioShock - Review After 100%

More information.

Just an FYI: The review contains major spoilers for anyone who hasn't played it yet.

I remember being pretty disappointed when it was released due to certain expectations on my part. I was hoping for spiritual successor to System Shock 2, and Bioshock is far from that.

I'd say it's still a very good game though as long as you go in expecting a shooter with a story and nothing more.

Okay, serious question: How old does a game have to be before we can openly talk about it, spoilers included?

1) Space Invaders era
2) BioShock era
3) Something else newer than 15 years

1-2 years then it's fair game, as spoilers never bothered me, but it seems it does others. I remember a former member who was pissed I spoiled Dragon Age ten years later.

If it's something with a major plot twist, I think it's common courtesy to use spoiler tags regardless of how old it might be.

A courtesy warning is enough.

If you put off a game again and again for years, then click on a video about it, well...

For an I-Sim lite like bioshock, hearing about it would perhaps be more fun to actually playing it anyway.
