I didn't realize Bioshock was considered to be one of the "greatest games of all time".  Seemed like your average FPS to me (game starts with a cataclysmic event, you start out with no weapons, eventually gain weapons and powers, kill lots of baddies, yada yada yada).  Beautiful graphics and creepy atmosphere for sure, but I would not even list it anywhere near the best games of all time.  I got bored with it pretty quickly and moved on to other games.  I guess I need to finish playing it to see what I'm missing.

Bioshock was fantastic, IMO.  I don't play a lot of FPS games (I couldn't get into Halo or Call of Duty) but I LOVED Bioshock.  The city of Rapture was so well thought out - it was almost believable.  I don't think it's the best game of all time but it's certainly somewhere on the list.

The storyline and atmosphere in the game were brilliant, however I would only rate the gameplay as good, not great.  The gameplay was actually dumbed down from it's predecessor System Shock 2, which often is considered one of the greatest games of all time.  Bioshock was one of the best games of last year, but not of all time.
