Bioshock sur PS3

Bioshock, considéré comme le meilleur jeu de 2007 et jusqu'à maintenant une exclusivité pour la Xbox 360, arrivera sur la PS3 en octobre de cette année!

Avant d'avoir acheté la PS3, j'ai beaucoup hésité entre les consoles de Sony et Microsoft. Une des raisons était justement Bioshock, sachant que je ne pourrai jamais jouer ce jeu sur la PlayStation. Et bien les développeurs viennent de faire cadeau à tous les partisants de Sony en annonçant l'arrivée du jeu sur la console!

BioShock is a first-person shooter video game by 2K Boston/2K Australia—previously known as Irrational Games—designed by Ken Levine. The game is available for the Windows operating system, and the Xbox 360 video game console. It was released on August 21, 2007, in North America, and three days later in Europe and Australia. On May 28, 2008, 2K Games confirmed that BioShock is in development for the PlayStation 3 and will be released in October of 2008 and is being developed by the newest 2K Games studio, 2K Marin.

Set in an alternative history 1960, the game places the player in the role of a plane crash survivor named Jack, who must explore the underwater Objectivist-dystopian city of Rapture, and survive attacks by the mutated beings and mechanical drones that populate it. The game incorporates elements found in role-playing and survival horror games, and is described by the developers and Levine as a "spiritual successor" to their previous titles in the System Shock series.

The game received overwhelmingly positive reviews, and ranks as the thirteenth best video game on Game Rankings based on reviews from critics. It was particularly well-reviewed in the mainstream press where its "morality-based" storyline, immersive environment and Ayn Rand-inspired dystopian setting were all singled out for praise. BioShock has been praised for providing "an entirely new tool through which to explore philosophy, psychology, and morality." [Wikipedia]
