Is Bioshock worth it in gameplay, replayablitiy, fun factor...etc or should I save my points until Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Gears of War, Crysis, Call of Duty,...etc come down in points value? (If there are any other fairly new games I should look at let me know.)

Bioshock is fantastic.  It's also going to be 4.99 on black friday for pc, so you might want to just pick it up for $5 new, and save the points for something else.

It's good, but there's no replay value. The campaign is fairly long, though.

I saw a black friday deal for $5 on PC. Also last year steam sold it for that price during their deal week. So if you're interested search for it.

If you can get it for 5 bucks, go for it.  Great game.  I got it for 5 on steam last year, and enjoyed the hell out of it.

 No replayability, but you can always get it/play it/trade it back out. Gears of War and Mass Effect are pretty cheap right now, so you should be able to pick them up w/o having to save too many points.

 Of the games you listed, Fallout has the most replayability because it's so much deeper than the others.

That tells people have really different tastes. I bought Bioshock on steam for $5, while I already had a boxed copy. Even though there is little replay value, the game is a masterpiece for me.

I bought it back when $15 on STEAM was an outrageously good deal...but haven't gotten around to playing it through yet.  I'm nearly finished redownloading the 7GB game and intend on plowing through it soon.   What I have played I thoroughly enjoyed, so I'm looking forward to making time to crank this title out.

For $5, I wouldn't think twice about it.

The pizza slize in his post indicates he was kidding. Smile

 

And yes, BioShock is worth it.

The campaign is long and brilliant, and there's enough content in it for at least two playthroughs.  At $5, it's a steal.

The mouse control is really shoddy in the PC version, though.

I absolutely loved Bioshock.  And for me, it has great replay value because there are always tiny details and things (like audio diaries/notes/etc. that you can miss unless hunting specifically for the achievement).  It's very atmospheric, I liked the combat, great graphics, and the story is just very immersive and well-done.   I would definitely recommend you check it out.  I've played it several times now and have every achievement save the one where you create all types of ammo in the game :x
