Anti-Objectivist game coming soon for Apple iPhones and iPads
Posted by Solver 9 years, 8 months ago to Entertainment
Bioshock will be released later this summer for iPhones and iPads. It is a popular video game where the player must continuously make self-sacrifices to progress, in sensational, impulsive, massively violent, kill or be killed situations. Most of this occurs under the sea, in an Atlantis like city, while you're besieged with Objectivist like propaganda from various sources including Atlas Shrugged like characters.
One reviewer who details the entire plot says, “It is a truly awesome piece of propaganda against Objectivism and for statism and altruism that would have made Stalin and Beria weep with joy. Lenin himself must be wiping tears from his mummified face in his mausoleum at the sheer wonder of this game.”

Even now it will make your computer work hard for the eye candy.
As a former gamer I freaking LOVED Bioshock.
I remember playing it on a (then massive) 52" LCD with Dolby 5.1 cranked in a pitch black room. Had to take frequent breaks to prevent anxiety attacks along with the fact that it was downright freakin scary.
I remember it having a 1940s theme but I don't remember it being "anti-objectivist" or pro-Russia type communism.
I doubt I'll ever get to play it again but if I do I will certainly look at it with more scrutiny.
Either way, it was an amazingly immersive environment and its a shame to think a game so epic was designed as a political tool to influence a young persons mind.
