Over on CliffyB.com, Mr. Cliff gives his brutally honest yet professional take on BioShock discussing the good (art design, story narration and evil dudes who make you feel bad about yourself) along with the bad (somewhat sloppy telekinesis and annoying bees who don't make honey). Overall though, Cliffy thinks that this Unreal Engine 3 based game deserves game of the year honors for perfecting the blend of gameplay and immersive story that all next gen game should strive for. But then again it's only September and Cliffy has yet to play Halo 3, so we'll see if he retracts his GOTY honors next week. We kid, we kid Cliffy, BioShock is good times and we all know it (ahem, Halo 3).

Bioshock has no replay value. Everyone that I know bought the game and no longer play it cause theyve beaten it like 4 times.

Sorry for the double, but I kinda contradicted my statement.
I mean it has no MP replay ability. The story can only be played so many times.

I certainly think Bioshock is GOTY as well.
Halo 3 is just Halo 2 with more gear. And Halo 2 was a major disappointment.

Hey Amg why not contribute for once instead of making negative comments all the time.
CliffyB is his name thats what everyone calls him so it makes complete sense to call him something else.
Hey Sense, break out the Hammer O'Ban.
The blogsmith profile is coming in handy.

Eh, I still feel Bioshock was nothing more than a chore to play. Doesn't matter how good the story is if the way the game handles is absymal. I've never had less fun shooting a gun in my life.
I think the only reason the guy wants the game to be GOTY is either A: He has no thoughts of his own and follows the crowd or B: They need it for Epic so they can have something to fall back on in the suit with Silicon Knights.

Well, considering the fact that Cliffy has already played an ALMOST final build of Halo 3, then he really CAN say which one HE thinks is better.
Btw, to everyone that think Bioshock will get GOTY, GO HOME. By the time Mass Effect comes out, everyone'll have played H3, M.E., COD4, A.C. and MANY more games that will TRUMP Biosuck. Bioshock may end up in the running for GOTY, but WILL NOT WIN. Believe.

Mass Effect isn't as fresh and appealing to even be considered GOTY. :/

Sloppy TK plasmid? Really? I was happier with it than with HL2's Gravity Gun.
Eh, to each his own, I guess...

im certain CliffyB got to where he is because "He has no thoughts of his own and follows the crowd", right.
Say what you will about the man but that cant be correct.

LOL every time I hear/see Cliffy B I think of Bud Bundy's "Grandmaster B" rap character.

Statements like that are a pretty good way to keep your name in the spotlight. He didn't even have to bring up UT3, we did it for him.

Maybe cause he works for Epic Games and is promoting their Unreal Engine, this game will definitely not be GOTY. Halo 3 has done so much more on a technical standpoint, the finale (story/plot) is there, and of course multiplayer and the gigantic community it will bring together. GOTY is an understatement for Halo 3.

It's a definite overstatement for Halo 3.
Repeat after me: Mass Effect will win Game of the Year.
