Bioshock – A Game With Flavor

Sometimes the authors of this site get along. Sometimes we don’t.  Often we disagree on how good a game is, (or how bad it is), what was the best game of all time, or even how to play certain games.  Often we disagree on pizza toppings, choice of alcohol, or if showering once a week with a smattering of throwing water under your pits once a week really is good personal hygiene, or just a smidgen of overkill.

But sometimes, just sometimes, we both absolutely 100% agree on a game.  In the positive light. Believe you me, we agree that there are way more stinky games than good ones out there.

These very special positive games we call ‘games with flavor’.  In order to be a game with flavor, it has to have everything.  Excellent gameplay, amazing story line, be unique, be addictive, makes you want to play through the game more than once, awesome graphics and good multi player online or lan game play.

But a game with flavor is more than just that. It’s a game so unique that is has it’s own FEEL to it.  When you log onto the game, you are now in THAT world, not your own. And the world that you are in is so real, so unique, so believable, it just has that, that FLAVOR to it.

Bioshock is one of these games.  It has EVERYTHING to deem it a game that we here at Puter Gamers [dot] com call a game with flavor. And that is no small feat.

I’m not going to describe the game play, or the game to you. I’ve played through the game three times.  It is THAT amazing.   Instead, if you’ve never played it (SHAME ON YOU!!!) then I encourage you to go get it, go get it NOW. There’s a reason why it won game of the year, and why it’s a game with flavor, and why the second edition coming out soon is so incredibly anticipated.

Oh, and for you console weenies:
