BioShock was one of the best games to come out in 2007. It had a compelling storyline and some great gameplay mechanics. And it was beautiful. Not in the metaphorical way, but in the direct sense. All the ingame art and all the details of the setting were polished to perfection. And it would have never been made if i... |

Over the past few days, rumor had it that BioShock was coming to the PlayStation 3.
