New March Releases from God of War and Tomb Raider Series Unable to Knock BioShock from the #1 Spot on List of Most Compelling Video Game Storylines


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 21, 2013

Bioshock currently sits atop Ranker’s “Most Compelling Video Game Storylines” list with a comfortable lead over closest competitor, Half-Life. What’s interesting is that both games have been out for over 5 years. (Half-Life will be celebrating it’s 15th anniversary this year.) As of March 2013, the crowd-sourced list has been voted on by over 1000 people at consumer opinions website Ranker.com, and includes other popular video game franchises like Mass Effect, Fallout, and Final Fantasy.

The rest of the Top 10 Video Game Storylines are as follows:

1) Bioshock

2) Half-Life

3) Mass Effect 2

4) Mass Effect

5) Half-Life 2

6) Fallout 3

7) Portal

8) Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

9) Heavy Rain

10) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

When asked why Bioshock would be number one on the list after all this time Dan Casey, Associate Editor at Nerdist.com, had this to say: “What sets Bioshock’s narrative apart from the pack isn’t just its memorable setting or those terrifying moments when the lights go out and all you can hear is the skittering of Splicers [the villains in the game]; it’s the burden of morality which it forces the player to shoulder, and for that alone, it is a game worth experiencing.”
