Hey hey folks, and welcome to Dave Critiques. This time around, Bioshock. This is the first in a series of videos I will be making on the Bioshock games and their story DLC over the coming year or so.

I knew I wanted to talk about the Andrew Ryan scene as I find it the most compelling part of the entire game. The meta-commentary of that scene, how it applies to the people playing the game has been discussed extensively, but I think through my research I thought of a couple ideas about the player controlling Jack that you will find of interest.
