Who's the DADDY?

Well, I finally finished bioshock...

I wasn't as taken with it as I was hoping (it didn't descend from heaven in a silver chariot and take me to the promised land), but it was damn good. 
Probably the best indicator that it got under my skin is that I keep thinking about rapture. 
Although you only see it in ruins, I keep imagining what it must have been like at its height, and wishing I could be there.

*sigh*.

Anyway, on to my obligatory gripes:
1) Guns. Overall I thought they were very well thought out, and I loved that the grenade launcher/chem thrower were both bodged together from scrap metal. 
BUT, what irritated me was that you could hold twice as much 'primary' ammo as 'specialist'. So, although you can have 48 'normal' bullets, you're only allowed 24 anti-personnel and 24 armour piercing. (ditto for all the other guns)
WHY? given that it's usually the specialist ammo you want to use.

2) The camera. (mild spoiler)
After a while you get a camera that you used for research. 
I found it too irritating to use (basically you can take pics of enemies, and 'research' them, gaining bonuses when you fight them). It was just a pain to have to take a pic during combat, and then switch back).

Umm, other than stuff that is massively spoilerific, that's it. (So yes, it is an amazing game).
