BioShock

Picked up the first-person shooter BioShock from eBay as a treat for my birthday. I played the demo and I was wowed by it, so I decided I wanted to play the game that scored even higher than Halo 3 on the Metacritic ratings (highest ranked Xbox 360 game ever).

The game is simply awesome. The Ayn Rand inspired dystopian plot is twisted, combining thriller elements from the Resident Evil series with amazing graphics that rival Gears of War. Set in an alternative 1960, the game places the player in the role of a plane crash survivor named Jack, who must explore the underwater city of Rapture, and survive attacks by the mutated beings and mechanical drones that populate it.

If you're a 360 owner, I highly suggest you play this game. I'm about 3 hours into it and I couldn't put the controller down. It's even scarier to play at night!
