What makes the best game of the year? Usually, it’s something memorable, great graphics, solid gameplay, and a memorable story and characters. While BioShock’s gunplay was solid and fun it did feel too similar to past games, but the story was the best of them this year. The game’s story is still talked about among the gaming community and it had some impressive visuals and art direction.
