Audio Diaries BioShock Audio Diaries BioShock 2 Audio Diaries BioShock 2 Multiplayer Audio Diaries There's Something in the Sea Audio

Audio Diaries are the main narrative device of the BioShock series. They were recorded by the citizens of Rapture, either as notes for themselves or as messages for other residents. When the player picks up an Audio Diary he or she can usually choose to play its message, however a handful of plot-crucial diaries throughout the games play automatically as soon as they are picked up.

In total, there are 122 obtainable Audio Diaries in BioShock. Finding all of them in a single playthrough (with the exception of the ones that were removed from the game) will unlock the Historian achievement in the Xbox 360 version, and the Historian trophy in the PlayStation 3 version.
