Bioshock – Rapture

I should hate anything like Bioshock – Rapture, the latest book tie-in from John Shirley. I did English Literature after all, a high-class degree that taught me methods of critique, analysis and written eloquence. Then again, I enjoy relaxing with mindless entertainment more often than not, and Rapture is just that. It cleverly, if sometimes hurriedly, pieces together a back story of Bioshock’s sunken city.

The game’s a fantastic piece of art – and yes, very few games can be given that title. It’s wonderful to read more narrative in such a rich universe. I won’t spoil the full review that’ll appear on Xboxer360 soon, but I enjoyed the book.
