What’s with all the profanity problems with otherwise terrific videogames like Bioshock? I’m not usually that offended by most profanity, but I do take exception to the use of the name of God when uttering profanity and I was at least shocked, if not BioShocked, at how often that is done in BioShock.

Now, most of the game is a wonder to play. Graphically, it’s beautiful on the PS3 and the tone and theme of the game make for some of the most compelling gameplay I’ve encountered in quite a while. But do we really need to hear background characters invoking divinity and damnation in the same breath?

Personally, I think the same emotion is communicated with a robust “Damn it!” without bringing the Almighty into the picture. Now, BioShock isn’t the only game to do this by any means; sadly, it is the game I’m most disappointed in for doing so. Yet I’d rather spend three hours searching for the best diet pills than playing a game with this particular kind of potty-mouth.

From a gameplay standpoint, I really wanted to keep the game. Due to the coarse language factor, though, it’s trade-in-bound. Too bad.
