No Gods or Kings

Not sure if anyone has read this before, but I found it fascinating, especially as a fan of Ayn Rand and objectivism (but not an absolutist). It really shows how video games are starting to grow up and I think will soon enter the cultural realm of literature and film in significance.

That was a good read.
By far the best line of the entire thing:

Re: No Gods or Kings

I was going to read it - I saved it to my HDD for some offline reading and forgot about it. Good thing you posted this, I should get to reading it..

I loved Bioshock's story, what it was trying to get across.

And I should also start looking for Ayn Rand's books.
