Nice to see Blue Dragon in the top ten; I absolutely love the game after 19 hours of play and finally reaching Jibral. My only grievances with it is the slowdown and v-sync tearing but even those don't spoil the game in any major way.
I'm disappointed that MotoGP '07 has only gone in at 33 though, it's a vast improvement on the rushed, buggy mess that was MotoGP '06 and deserves to do well. |

"Started playing Bioshock on my just-above-minimum-spec PC last night and it is indeed a brilliantly atmospheric game - three levels..."
Crap. It took me 4 hours to do level 1. :0( When I say "levels" I mean it stopped to load the next section and the loading screen came up. I was only on it for about an hour and a half, so 4 hours to get through the first section seems a bit long... o_O |

"no matter how good something might seem to you, other people will find something not to like about it. "
I think the rule is: No matter how good something might seem to you, there is always an emo whiner who wants to be cool on the internet by claiming HATE HATE HATE. I bet he cries for attention a lot.

"Crap. It took me 4 hours to do level 1" Thats absolutely the way to play a game like Bioshock, at your own pace. If you aren't getting bored then you are simply extending your fun, right? And let me add my own "yay, the public gets it right for once" to the pile. |

You obvisouly either don't play enough games or only think 9 and above means good. Bioshock's a good game but it's not that special either. Calling me stupid because I rate it at an 8 (oh look so did Edge) and you don't just isn't worth you posting. If I read another article saying it's art I'll scream (and I studied fine art) the designers got a book on art deco rather than redoing the cyberpunk/gieger look that's been done to death. Great art direction - no more art than HL2. Half life 2 - now that's a 9.5 :-D |

I am inclined to agree with Raya on some points, but that comes from someone who believes he has played games that have accomplished what Bioshock set out to achieve, only earlier and in some cases better. Such is my opinion.
I think some of your frothing, and blatant dismissal of anything less than a gushing opinion of Bioshock as that of a Sony fanboy/window licker, shows just how much the hype and expectation machine really has done its job. I’d hazard a bet that in two months time a lot of the people foaming at the japs eye about this game will change their opinion from ‘great’ to ‘good’ as, once the hype dies down, this really isn’t the second coming of Jesus, just a man with a beard wearing sandals. /pulls up a chair /puts on a blindfold /smokes a cigarette Yours Chudders |

This is temporary folks. Everyone who wanted to play Bioshock has now bought it as it is a very niche title. It's FPS/Survival Horror on the PC and XBox 360 and you can't get more anti-casual video game player than that. Honestly I have people at work asking me what the best game is out right now and I respond with 'Bioshock'. The look on their face of incomprehension is as sad as their following question: 'Is it on the Wii?' *sigh*.
Trust me folks when I say next week order will be restored with the chart filled with Wii and DS guff with a sprinkling of Sims 2 expansions. I weep for the species. |

>"Bioshock looks 'arty' and I'm sure that will put off the under 20's (or everyone in the USA). "
Yet here in the UK, it seems everyone likes to run out and hype anything that is "arty", just to look cool, different and "post-modern" (???) This only happens in the UK. I see it with art, books, movies, and other such nonesense. Not to downgrade bioshock, but listening to the hype for game here is like listening to the hype of halo 3 in america. People here need to stop pretending that thier taste is so much better than americans. Take out the log in your eyes first, you hypocrites. We're just as likely to overhype anything "artsy fartsy" in this country to "prove" how much better we are than others (especially america). This is not an attack on bioshock, but an attack on those greatly overhyping the game, even though more than half haven't even bought/played it yet. Edit: When I said "nonesense", I'm not saying books, movies and such are nonesense (obviously not).
