It's great to see a game that absolutely delivers. I was waiting for this since E3 last year (or maybe since System Shock 2).

"These are the big challenges developers have been struggling to master for decades; narrative, emergence, a sense of place. If another game did just one of these as well as Bioshock, it would immediately qualify as a classic. When a game comes along that does all three, we can only be baffled and thankful. I spend my career, and my gaming life, waiting for a moment when a game just astonishes me, when I can't believe what I'm seeing, what I'm doing. Bioshock has five such moments.

When two reviews agree so completely in handing out such lavish (and specific) praise, I have the feeling we're looking at Game of the Year, here.

Yea I'm getting that feeling too, but I might not get it anyway, but it sounds extremely impressive sounds like it delivered ten fold.

Wow. That sounds like a killer app to me. Lets hope its creepiness doesn't turn more people off... and that no online play doesn't get a mild response from 360 gamers.

The fans have spoken. Concerning the graphics of the Halo 3 Beta: "There's so many little effects and things going on that make this game pretty much 2nd only to Gears at the moment."
