Gave Bioshock a try now.

End result: I played 8 hours at a time.

The longer I played, the more I noticed that it's indeed the spiritual successor of System Shock. And I love it.
Just to name a few similarities I found out about:

- Respawn system
- Hacking
- Research
- Skilling
- Audio logs (storytelling in general)
- Meele weapon (wrench!!!)
- Splicers <-> hybrids/cyborg midwife
- turrets/cameras (alarm system)
- Weapons and ammo types
- Vending machines
- Upgrade machines
- Weapon modification machines
- Healing machines
- PSI <-> Plasmids
- Currency: rapture dollars/nanites (also ADAM/Cybernetic moduels)
- I also recognized Shodan (Fontaine?!) and the Many (Ryan)
- some areas (medical area/athletic area/garden area)
- messages on the walls
- random announcements
- ghosts/illusions
- 451 ...

The list goes on forever. And I always heard people saying, that Bioshock is nothing like SS2.

Anyways, guess I'll play Bioshock 2 and Infinite next. Afterwards I might give Mass Effect and Dead Space a try.
