Xbox 360 Fanboy

It definitely looks cool. I'm looking forward to it with baited breathe. :)

I mean "bated breath". Wow my spelling needs some plasmoids!

Limited Edition can still be had from Gamestop http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product_id=200317

(Put "SAVER" as the coupon code for free shipping, it will still cost you about $75 though)

Major win for Xbox 360 on this exclusive.

looks ok, just doesn't have a huge appeal to me though. I'd rather save up my money for Assassin's Creed, Hells Highway, COD4, GTA4, Mass Effect, and of course Halo 3. Too many good games, they should have released Bioshock earlier in the summer!

GTA4 is in 2008 and the rest of those are at least a month away from Bioshock's release date. Get it!

I'm excited. OXM reviews don't exactly mean anything to me, but I don't really need to hear from other places to know this is worth getting. I already have it pre-ordered.

I had high hopes for this game and now it sounds like it won't disappoint. Funds are limited and I was just about to breakdown and get the "must have" Gears of War (it's been almost 2 years, drop the price...damn)this weekend. Now, I'll just hold of on spending my $60 for two more weeks.


My summer/fall library:
Madden
BioShock
Tiger Woods
Halo 3
Mass Effect
Scene it?

HM: Rock Band (only if my friends get into it too)

oh yeah Assassin's Creed will also be a part of the library.

HM: COD4:MW

Gears of war came out in November of 2006, not 2005 Stephen.

Major win for gamers, simply getting this game ;)

Won't be totally sure about the game until the demo, personally.

I'm sure it will be a good game, maybe even a great game, but there are too many great games coming out close to each other and I'm not about to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars in a few months on these games especially when I won't have time for them all. Halo 3 will consume all of my time (plus college) once it comes out, so between now and then it'd be nice to pick up a game that can hold me off, maybe this is it but I am just not as excited as others about this game.

It looks great, but I am completely confused as to what the hell is going on in the demo videos.

Halo got 9.5. Halo 2 got 9.7.

the game looks great, and i wanna pick it up... but 100? the game was flawless?

Games really should never manage to score a perfect review unless they are literally flawless, So many games have scored in very high 9/90s, but they always have something holding it back even though they are great games. While some systems have circumvented a system to say that a 10/100 is a "MUST BUY OMFG ROXORS" and an 11 is perfect, but the simple fact is unless a game does something great, and you find NOTHING wrong with it, only then it should get a perfect 10.

I remember when zelda:OOT got a 10 on IGN and there was much controversy, not to mention the bad control issues. While i'm a fan of zelda, i would be hard pressed to give that game a perfect score by any means.

Have reviewers become so lazy/biased they need to grade on a curve now?

If irrational games keeps releasing a definitive game every ten years, like they did with system shock and now with bioshock, I think they should stay this way

I agree, there is no multiplayer so right there in my opinion it is nowhere near perfect.

I'm definatly getting the Collectors Editon of this game on launch day. Which is 1) very rare for me to get a 360 game on launch, 2) get a collectors edition of a game.

It's also been the highlight of the year for me. I've been anticipating this game for aaaaages.

Others have already said it, but the deluge of games coming out this holiday season might just swallow BioShock whole. The game looks pretty good, noone is desputing that, but what features does it have that make it any different from the other 10 FPS's that have come out recently, or that are going to come out this holiday season? It will be a shame if this game doesn't do pretty well in stores, but I can't imagine it will next to Halo 3, Mario Galaxies, Super Smash Bro's, Assassins creed and all the other games that are coming out. Honestly, I've already got too much to buy this holiday season. BioShock is one game I'll be renting to spare my wallet.

lol 10 out of 10 from a Xbox mag lol Unbiased score there :P
