Trivia:

Andrew Ryan is an anagram, of sorts, of Ayn Rand, the primary inspiration for both the architecture and the theme of the game.

Quotes:

Andrew Ryan: What is the difference between a man and a parasite? A man builds. A parasite asks 'Where is my share?' A man creates. A parasite says, 'What will the neighbors think?' A man invents. A parasite says, 'Watch out, or you might tread on the toes of God... '

This little fish looks like he got his cherry popped, wonder if he still got some ADAM on him..

Hehe, Bioshock, I can still remember buying it and beating it in one time, what an experience ! First of all to explain the story, You are a man on a plain going to a destination, unlike everything plane crashes and you swim to the nearest platform, this platform is 'Rapture' A utopia under the Atlantic ocean. Very quickly you can see what kind of thoughts they put in this game. From politics, to Graphics, A city where no man must not bow under the means of: Chatolism, presidents, MAN. other then that it shows yet again the conflicts of man with power. Power results to the need of more power, hence the massacre in Rapture. I don't understand why this game deserves a 18+ rating it isn't that scary.. It has great gameplay and atmosphere but please, it isn't SAW IV you know.. As you advance in the game you will get to a point where you will have to depend at you're moral abilities. eg. Little Sisters, They carry ADAM, ADAM, will give you powers, (Cool powers... Like shooting wasps and Ice cold helium or Fire) But the girl will Die, if you let her choose to live, you will get half of the ADAM hence you will have to survive with less powers. (I didn't choose to kill the girls, I'm happy i didn't ;D) I could tell a helluva lot more but i need to rush to bed. Read other comments you will only see positive comments.
