After hearing several times that the Bioshock series was atmospheric and a must-play, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get the all three for a great deal on Amazon. I had very limited previous knowledge/experience with the series. I'll briefly touch on each game individually and then my overall consensus of the series.The original Bioshock's story is pretty memorable and the voice acting is great. There are some interesting twists in the plot and some of the final quotes are unforgettable (e.g., "A man chooses..., a slave obeys"). The maps are less linear than some shooters but there is a map and waypoint system to find your way around, usually. Some of the characters and ideas were extremely novel and creative. However, the first two games use the same graphics engine, which is pretty old now. I'm sure they would have been quite the experience back when they first came out but the graphics have not aged particularly well. The combat is clunky and I constantly ran out of ammo and I felt like I spent more time scrounging for money and trying to get more ammo than I would have liked. That being said, I felt like the strengths of the first game slightly outweighed the weaknesses and overall I would give the first game a 3.5/5.The second Bioshock looked identical to the first and was set in the same underwater world. This game was the most disappointing in the series because it contained all of the flaws of the first game (clunky combat, poor controls, fetch quests) but with a far less memorable storyline and they took a killer idea (playing as a Big Daddy) and having the melee weapon rely on ammo (gasoline). Essentially, I only finished the game in case there were important story elements for the third game, but it felt very much like a chore to do so: 2/5Bioshock Infinite is a gorgeous game, visually. The brightness was such a huge contrast to the other games' dark, gritty atmospheres and was a very welcome change. I really felt like I was exploring a new world world that had a cheerful facade covering some deep, dark secrets. The story was pretty interesting despite its flaws and the plot twists were in the spirit of the first game. The characters were also more memorable. Even though I did a lot of scrounging for money in this game too, the sound effects of gathering money were like music to my ears (ka-ching) and money was hidden a little better, so it felt less tedious than the first game. I liked being able to use the hook-thing to jump on aerial tracks to get around to different parts of the map but this was only available in certain areas and was really limited so it felt more like a tease rather than a sweet method of transportation for an open world game. For the most part, I liked the weapons better in Infinite than the other games, but I hate that you can only carry 2 at a time. And again, the controls are still so loose compared to other FPS like Borderlands or Battlefield. Being able to use Elizabeth's powers seemed like a good idea, in theory, but it was poorly executed and often distracting. Overall, it seems like the game was torn between an action-adventure and a FPS and didn't really excel in either: 3.5/5I play a lot of first-person shooters such as Battlefield 3 and Counter-Strike so the combat and "loose" controls of Bioshock throughout the entire series was very disappointing to me. I couldn't ever really find a mouse setting that worked well because the sensitivity was different for the X and Y axes, such that looking up and down would be great but then turning in a circle would take too long. I also felt like the power ups in the game were disappointing. I love spells when they are fun, useful, and don't require a great deal of attention to refill mana (or in this case, epo). But in the Bioshock series, without a ton of upgrades (which aren't usually until the end of the game), you can only use the powers a few times before you have to "reload" them, which requires ammo! I ended up just sticking to a few of them that seemed more useful than others and mostly relied on weapons.

I loved this game. The FPS shooter elements are entirely average, but the rest of the game is just about perfect. The game does a wonderful job immersing the player into the world. Every single thing in this game looks handcrafted to pull you into the hypocritical satire. Whoever directed the art style for this game deserves an award. On top of that, this game doesn't feel rushed. The other Bioshock games had a sense of urgency that was detrimental to the games. This game solves the problem by providing periodic respites for the player to explore and examine the colorful world.On top of the world and its visual splendor, we have the audio. Usually I turn off the audio in games, but the music in Bioshock simply... matched. It added to the immersion instead of ruining it. As you play through the game and explore, your companion will frequently act on her own. You tell stories back and forth, while really getting to know the main characters. The addition of the audio recordings is also a huge bonus. They were interesting and helped explain the world and the supporting characters. I found myself relating to a few of the in-game enemies because of their voxaphone story lines.Gameplay- 7/10Average, but interesting. Difficult, but not impossible.Audio- 10/10Well done and interesting. Implemented in a way that allows the player to explore the world without feeling burdened by the dialogue interactions. Audio storytelling at its best.Graphics- 9/10Amazing. It's not Crysis and it's not the Witcher; However, everything in the game looks amazing. It all matches and nothing is out of place. A few graphical glitches, but they didn't distract from the world. I enjoyed the cartoonish colonial look.

There are games and then there are works of art.And then there's Bioshock.It's a game that's a work of art.Even though the first Bioshock was created almost a decade ago, the graphics still look great, but the game is about much more than the graphics.The story is great, the game play is challenging enough not to be boring, but also isn't at a dark soul level where you want to tear your hair out.The weapons, abilities, and other cool stuff are well balanced and the game itself is definitely worth playing through.Same goes for the second game.It's not as groundbreaking as the first, but it's definitely worth a play.I actually haven't played the 3rd game in the series as I'm waiting until I get a better laptop, so I can't say anything about it, but I'd get this bundle even if it contained only the first 2 games.

I have finished both Bioshock 1 and 2, and was looking for Infinite to continue the saga, then I found this triple pack which is actually worth the price of Infinite alone, let alone all three games.The activation codes work perfectly with Steam and all three games work in Windows 8.1. Bioshock 2 and Inifinite support controllers (I use the Xbox wired USB controller). Bioshock (1) only plays with mouse and keyboard.Great deal, excellent price for three of my favorite games.*** Edit: Bioshock 1 does have an option within the game menus to enable the Xbox controller. It's just that it's Off by default. So all three games support the Xbox controller, I'm a happy camper now! ***
