...The creator of Bioshock, Ken Levine, has used the guise of a video game to insidiously inject his philosophy into the player's mind. The main problem i see with Levine's method is this; He does so in such a subtle manner throughout the game, subsequently ingraining it unconsciously in one's moral beliefs.
Although I know I'm Knit-Picking at the character relationships in the game, it personally came off very strong. I recognize people think Bioshock champions Moral selflessness over Moral selfishness due to the failed environment of "Rapture." However, Ryan's portrayal as this kind of martyr for his own beliefs, appeals at a much more powerful level.

Very interesting. I would like to own the Xbox just to be able to experience a clever game for once.
