Everybody has their own opinions I guess. I love Bioshock and regard it as one of my favorite games of all time, if not my absolute favorite. Its meet of survival horror and science fiction combined with rpg-esque fps gameplay really set it apart to me. The story is also great (especially compared to the regular Call of Duty type fps games which flood the market), though I will agree that it climaxed at the twist and the second half of the game was less gripping than the first.

Ah, that's what I get for skimming the beginning of your post. When it comes to games, I do prefer SH 2 over the first. It's the other way around with the movies for me. I never played much of SH 3 despite owning it for several years now. I don't know what it is with that one. Homecoming was somewhat enjoyable as the series equivalent of Resident Evil 4 but ranks pretty low overall. Downpour was good, though it was the story that really saved it for me. The generic zombie enemies were irritating.

I really enjoyed the first segment of Bioshock where the Spider Slicers showed up. That was unsettling as hell, hearing that scraping and then they just drop down next to you. Other than that, it just never connected with me. I think it was the lack of consequence for death that put a sour taste in my mouth first. There were plenty of good ideas present, but... ehh. I understand that I'm in a minority, though.
