BioShock Rocks the VGA's
2K Games is pleased to announce that BioShock was selected as the winner for 2007's Game of the Year, Best Xbox 360 Game and Best Original Score at Spike TV's 5th annual "Video Game Awards." The show pays tribute to the outstanding achievements of games, designers, animation, breakthrough technology, music and performances of the past year in the
world of video games.
Developed by 2K Boston and 2K Australia for 2K Games, BioShock is a
"genetically enhanced" first-person shooter that lets players do things
never before possible in the genre. Gamers enter the game as a castaway
in Rapture, a decaying art deco underwater utopia torn apart by civil
war. Caught between powerful forces and hunted down by genetically
modified "splicers" and deadly security systems, players have to come to
grips with a deadly, mysterious world filled with powerful technology,
fascinating characters and morality defining choices. To make it to the
end, players can turn everything they encounter into a weapon,
biologically modify their body with plasmids, hack devices and security
systems, upgrade weapons, craft new ammo variants, and experiment with
different battle techniques. No encounter ever plays out the same and no
two gamers will play BioShock the same way.
