BioShock System Requirements

What we love

1. Injectable plasmids give you super human powers: blast electrical currents into water to electrocute multiple enemies, or freeze them solid and obliterate them with the swing of a wrench.

2. You'll have a complete arsenal at your disposal from simple revolvers to grenade launchers and chemical throwers, but you'll also be forced to genetically modify your DNA to create an even more deadly weapon: you.

3. About the GameBioShock is a shooter unlike any you've ever played, loaded with weapons and tactics never seen.

4. BioShock: Breaking the MoldA free download that takes an inside look at the art of BioShock.

5. Buying BioShock™ also gets you BioShock™ Remastered.

6. No encounter ever plays out the same, and no two gamers will play the game the same way.
