==Praise== Prior to the games release, at [[E3 2006]], BioShock was given the "Game of the Show" award from various online gaming sites, including [[GameSpot]], [[IGN]], [[GameSpy]] and [[GameTrailers]]'s Trailer of the Year. BioShock has received a positive response from critics. The game was praised for its plot, environment, soundtrack, and audio effects. The combat system is smooth and open-ended which allows the player to use various tactics during combat. The game runs on Unreal Engine 3, and features stunning graphics, particularly the water effects, for which Irrational Games specifically hired a water programmer and water artist. * [[Gamespot]]: 9.0/10 * [[IGN]]: 9.7/10 (press average 9.6) * [[1UP.com]]: 10/10 * [[PC Gamer]]UK: 9.5 * [[Eurogamer]]: 10/10 * [[Game Informer]]: 10/10 * BigPond [[GameArena]]: 5/5 * Official Xbox Magazine: 10/10 On August 22, 2007 the New York Post reported that Take-Two Interactive's (TTWO) stock jumped nearly 10% on the strength of BioShock sales.
