I don't disagree with your point, but fun fact; Bioshock (and Bioshock 2) actually run on Unreal Engine 2, not 3.

Yeah, I actually knew that. Its like. UE2.5 with a lot of modifications. Ironically the end result is something that just like a UE3 game.

But I would imagine there were some benefits going the route they did.

A very early version of the concept was in development for the original Xbox using UE2; it was probably easier and cheaper to keep their established baseplate and bolt new techniques and technologies onto it than restart it with UE3.
