This “genetically enhanced” first-person shooter lets you do things never before possible in the genre.

Turn everything into a weapon, biologically mod your body with plasmids, hack devices and systems, upgrade your weapons and craft new ammo variants, and experiment with different battle techniques.

After your plane crashes into icy uncharted waters, you discover a rusted bathysphere and descend into Rapture, a city hidden beneath the sea. Constructed as an idealistic society for a hand picked group of scientists, artists and industrialists, the idealism is no more. Now the city is littered with corpses, wildly powerful guardians roam the corridors as little girls loot the dead, and genetically mutated citizens ambush you at every turn. BioShock forces you to question the lengths to which you will go and how much of your humanity you will sacrifice…to save your own life.

BioShock is loaded with some of greatest, most modifiable weapons to ever blast their way into a shooter. But guns alone won’t be enough to defeat the devious AIs of Rapture. There are literally hundreds of other strategies players can use to take out his enemies. Here’s just a few things you can do a foe:

• Catch his Grenades in Mid Air and Toss Them Back at Him
• Freeze Him Solid and Shatter Him with Smack of your Wrench
• Lead him and his comrades to water and Zap them all with 1000 Volts
• Burn Him Up With Home-Made Molotov Cocktails
• Booby Trap Healing Machines and Watch Them Blow up IN his Face
• Brainwash Him to Become Your Personal BodyGuard
• Invent your own Ammo Types to Prey on his Vulnerabilities
• Turn his own Security System Against Him
• Light Him on Fire and Launch Heat Seeking Missiles At him
