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).

High praise though, lets see what other outlets give it.

"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.

I'm doing my best to resist I've done too many impulse buys even if this may end up being the best impulse buy I've ever done.

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."
