Bioshock get 10/10 in OXM UK

-Inconceivably great plot
-Tough, scary combat
-Perfect location design
-Stunning soundtrack and audio effects
-Endless variety of weaponry

..BioShock is a novel compressed into a first-person shooter. It manages to be both a tricky, exciting action game, a fascinating creation of an enclosed world and a deep enquiry about what it means to be human - a trick most action movies and books fail to achieve. It also plays with you at every stage, confounding your expectations and your control over events repeatedly, from your control over your weapons, Plasmids, plot, self...

And this is where we have to stop ourselves - we don't want to spoilt it. What we can tell you is you'll be playing this game for months to come, exchanging story elements to build up the bigger picture, and arguing about what it all means. Come, join the argument, play the impossible game.

Also 95% in PC Gamer. Cant wait to get my hands on this game.

That's impossible, the new review system has .5 imcrements.

I suspect GS will give it a solid 9. (if not 9.5)

gamespot probably give bioshock an 8.5 because its on the PC. Then give it a 9.5 for x360.

they might not also give it a 10 because in the end although it is going to be a great! new and awesome game!

Most reviewers take off a little for no multiplayer w/ high replay value

although i think thats crap because not all games are made to be played online

personally I love both games online and also games dedicated to giving you a reallllll

single player experience.

That's great news, PC Gamer review also seems to state that it is not demanding or bugged! I expect it will get a good score from GS too, tho the 360 version will prolly score 0.5-1 higher anyway, but who cares.

The game isn't out till next month, so my suspicions are that the game devs allowed these mags to get first reviews of this game in exchange for a high score. This sort of shameless corruption goes on with big magazines. PSM2 gave one of the worst games in history, Driv3r, 9/10 and they got to review it a month before the release of the game. I still have a copy of that mag.

Reviewers typically get copies early, because articles are typically written 3 months before they are published. Sorry to spoil yourconspiracy theory, but if it was a bad game, it'd still have gotten a bad rating.

Haven't you ever heard of review copies? When it comes to hugely anticipated games, reviewers are almost always given a 99.9%-finished copy of the game just before it goes gold so that magazine and game site writers can play the game thoroughly enough to review the game before the game comes out instead of after. My suspicions are that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Wow. If my perception is true, Bioshock might actually be the best story-driven action game ever made, and that statement is taking into account the Half-Life series, Clive Barker's Undying, and the "Shock" series itself. Of course, I haven't played the game yet, and I would still like to read Gamespot's review, despite the fact that they unfortunately wasted the "best game since Half-Life" line on Far Cry (yes, that still pisses me off). But my hopes are towering, nonetheless. And you know, something about "a fascinating creation of an enclosed world and a deep inquiry about what it means to be human" sounds a hell of a lot more intriguing to me than "a big, nice looking island where you run around freezing things and shooting Koreans". You're looking at the Game of the Year here, folks.
