Precedent says it should be BioShock (no qualifier) for the series, and BioShock 1 for the first game. Look at Final Fantasy as a generic series name with Final Fantasy I as the first instance of it.

I played the FF series but never the BioShock series. That said, I agree with that naming logic, because it is intuitive and self-explanatory enough:

  • bioshock_1 makes it absolutely clear that this is the first game.
  • bioshock is ambiguous, as it could mean either the first game or the series. But, in the end, all posts of the first game would use this tag, too, so the ambiguity becomes entirely negligible for a tagger.
