BioShock ending

A little late post but I finished BioShock last month after an intense 10-day marathon. It was the best single player FPS I've played since Half-Life 2 was released nearly three years ago.

I found nothing lacking in this game as everything was completely polished to a bright finish. Awesome gameplay, atmosphere, art direction, audio, voice acting, attention to the smallest of details, clever use of weaponry and an emotional ending. Some would criticize the lack of a multi-player option, which is true (it would be fun to setup an ambush and clothesline someone with the trap bolt) but there are so many other premier titles like TF2 that can more than fill this need.

An undocumented "feature" of the PC version is that all the movies used in the game like the old-time, '20s looking training videos are stored in a folder after installation. I found it fun to watch them again (and see the second "bad" ending) to see how they were used to construct the game. One movie in particular called "attractMovie" (pictured above) was interesting because I haven't seen it referenced anywhere online before. It looks to be some kind of promotional video (in HD 720 format) that was probably used for a convention like E3.
