    PlayStation 3 owners no longer have to feel left out in the cold: One of the best games to hit the Xbox 360 and PC has finally come to their console. BioShock is a first-person shooter that takes place in an alternate 1960, in the underwater city of Rapture. The city has fallen into dystopian ruin, and the player must use a variety of unusual genetic powers and weapons to progress through the beautifully ravaged city and discover its engrossing secrets. The PlayStation 3 has some bonuses over its predecessors, in the form of an added level of difficulty, and extra 'Challenge Rooms' available for purchase on the PlayStation Network. If you've missed this game, now is the time. Rapture awaits.
