This Week: BioShock - Game of the Year?

The hype for BioShock really seemed to come to a head when publisher 2K Games released the demo of the game on Xbox Live Marketplace last week. Up until that point, the game was certainly touted by Microsoft as a highlight of the Xbox 360 release list.

He has not played the demo!! That or he is a PS3 fanboy.

I do agree it should NOT be getting perfect scores - but it is certainly game of the year material.

I really hope that as a gamer that a title like this can really reach the masses and sell well to send out that message that the games we want to see are titles that are unbelievable in every facet. These are the games we pay these ridiculous amounts of money for.

3 - PS360 ROCKS

I was just thinking the exact same thing. Isn't it kind of ironic that a truly "next gen" quality title like this is priced the same as the movie-licensed rubbish that is stamped out every year?

Not to mention EAs constant copy and paste rehashes of their franchises every year.

On a positive note though Microsoft is really pushing the advertising for this game. It was on TV as well as the demo being a suprise release on XBOX Live.

Yeah I couldn't agree more about those ridiculous movie titles and EA's sports title. I bought Madden 06 and 07 and I was so dissapointed, I think I played like 5 games on 2007 total in like 6-7 months of having the title...yeah I saw the commercial on MTV and stuff, it's really cool. I have been telling all my friends about this though and to play the demo and stuff. Let's hope that what we can say is enough to propel this game where it belongs. It truly is a great title that has tons of life ties in it, makes ya think.

5 - And

You have Blue Dragon (finally!) and if you are a Madden fan then you got the latest version of that as well.

Bioshock proves you dont need a next gen disc for a quality game like this which lasts around 20hrs if you do everything in the game without rushing it.

7.1 - probably right..

how can people say its over rated anyway, the only people to play the complete version are the reviews and as it stands i believe the lowest score is 94/100!

basically this game should be up there with half-life 2, pfft over rated.... at least lets wait till we get the full build before we start bad mouthing the game huh

ill admit that im probably a bit of a ps3 fan boy, but a good game is a good game, regardless of the platform its on!! right?

There is nothing wrong with this game being in the run for game of the year, but i wouldnt just write off everything else. There is still a ton of games coming out for both consoles and the pc. I do however feel this game is a little overrated...just a litte. I am fine with a high 8 or low 9. But a 9.9 or 10 is ridiculous. You are basically saying its the perfect game and offers everything any gamer could want in a game. I find that hard to believe. What kind of replay value would you expect in a 10 rated game. Multiplayer is almost a must to add replay value. And how long can this game be? Ive read 20 hrs. Although i honestly dont know. Can you invest 100 hours in this game on a single play like oblivion? Does this game really offer anything you havent seen before? Now it is a great looking game. Beautiful infact. but games should continue to improve graphically and we havent reached the limit of graphics. Also, what makes it different from other games and what makes it similar to other games and does it do those different things well and does it do those similar things better than any other game? Also do you play and and feel like its missing something? Anyways...game of the year it could be, but a perfect or even near perfect game...i dont think we should ever see such a thing.

well i do enjoy resident evil 4, but i am not a huge doom fan. I think oblivion is the most fun ive had on the single player portion of a FPS. Obviously its my opinion, but i enjoy games that can take 50+ or 100+ hours. I think most games are way to short. I also think the melee sword and shield aspect of oblivion was a nice change. But anyways...Doom and resident evil are great games..but they werent perfect and not everyone likes them. So still i cant imagine this game offering everything you could want to be perfect 10/10.
