Bioshock (2008)
It’s not that Bioshock did anything first…it’s that it did everything perfectly. It was a first-person shooter, art designed to within an inch of its life, with visuals that haunt your dreams and a story that sucks you in and never lets you go. Tie all of that up with a vicious criticism of Ayn Rand and a twist that absolutely no one saw coming and you get what is almost universally considered the best game of the past decade. Would you kindly advance to the next slide?
