Its part of the game, and the recordings, but a good source is the book "Rapture, by John Shirley" which covers a lot of the pre-1959 story on Rapture and how it was built, catalogs the event between "Atlas" and Andrew Ryan, the story of Frank Fontaine of Fontaines Fisheries and how everything started to crumble.

Its a great read if you enjoy the Bioshock series and delves into the civil war beneath the sea quite a bit, i've recommended it to many people who've played the games.

I haven't really played Gears or Mass Effect much and so am in no place to comment but here's what I'd suggest for the other two.

As a series Assassins Creed is amazing but be warned the first game, while inventive and exciting gets a bit repetitive towards the later third. But after that ACII and its counterparts 'Brotherhood' & 'Revelations' are astounding and with the news on ACIII the series is going to pan out/close on a real high.

For a revelation and in-depth story Bioshock is my personal go-to on all cylinders. The first game dig deep into Randian objectivism and once you read the blogs and opinions you realise that it is a game about the very nature of gaming. I would suggest reading 'Atlas Shrugged' as you play through to get the full depth of the first game.
The sequel is good if you really get into the story of the city of Rapture but doesn't come with the depth of philosophy that the first does.
But if Rapture is your thing it's worth a play to see how it panned out, also get hold of John Shirley's adaptation of the story Bioshock: Rapture.
Again the upcoming Bioshock: Infinite is going to take the series to new heights (pun intended!) and will be a worthy addition to the franchise.
