Bioshock

Wow. Go buy this game if you have not already.

Thormir · 08-22-2007

Impressive. 97 for both the PC and XBox versions at Metacritic. I may need to investigate.

IGN can be hit or miss, but they gave Xbox and PC a 9.7.

Quote:

This game is a beacon. It's one of those monumental experiences you'll never forget, and the benchmark against which games for years to come will, and indeed must, be measured. This isn't merely an evolution of System Shock 2, but a wake-up call to the industry at large. Play this, and you'll see why you should demand something more from publishers and developers, more than all those derivative sequels forced down our throats year after year with only minor tweaks in their formulas. It's a shining example of how it's possible to bring together all elements of game design and succeed to the wildest degree.

From what I've played thus far, it really is that good - and scary!

As the "spiritual successor" to System Shock 2, this shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone.

fildien · 08-23-2007

I tried the demo and don't like it so =\
But then my 360 died last Friday with the dreaded 3 red lights and I'm still waiting for the box from M$ to send it back in to get fixed /sigh

Bise · 08-23-2007

Oooooh another game for my 360 ! I need to get it!

ainwein · 08-23-2007

Ive had the three rings of death for months now. Ive been using the towel fix and it's keeping me going.

Kelraz Bladesinger · 08-23-2007

Can you play this online? Can you play this online cross platform (PC to XBox360?)

I don't have an XBox360 and can't justify shelling out the $500 but I'd love to play this game. Also wish Halo came out for PC

ainwein · 08-23-2007

Both Halos are on the PC and available for legal and illegal download. Just buy it for PC if you have a beefy system, and I mean pretty beefy.

fildien · 08-23-2007

towel fix? do tell.

$500 bucks? Where the hell do you shop? Oh you want the new Elite system?
