Head-To-Head: BioShock

Presentation

BioShock follows the Half-Life school of thought in the presentation category. All of the game's narrative events happen as scripted sequences in the game world, taking place from the player's point of view. It's a fantastically effective storytelling technique that enhances the moody atmosphere. The PS3 version of the game requires a fairly lengthy ten minute install. The PC version of the game has the briefest loading periods of all of them, but the installation process here is even longer than the PS3 version of the game. Otherwise, the game's menus and customization options are all layed out in an identical manner. The biggest issue here will be your willingness to sit through an install period.
