More Genetic Mishief

anansi133Superficially, the Bioshock games both seem to resemble a bunch of the Alien rip offs. You're in a dark airtight space fighting off zombies and genetic monstrosities, and messing with your own genes not unlike how Ripley does it in the 4th film.
Finishing the second game right after seeing Prometheus, I'm struck by how much more satisfying and better written was the videogame. Ridley Scott supposedly is asking where humanity's roots come from- but the answer to his question isn't very interesting. In Bioshock, it's a question about the nature of free will and the meaning of Utopia: probably would seem pretty hokey if the setting wasn't so horrific.
I only bought Bioshock 2 a week ago. This has got to be a new record for me in completing a new game.
