New fad. Soon everyone will be whining about the over-saturation of free-roaming games, like they do with FPS now.

I wouldn't classify Bioshock as a free-roamer. It allows for some exploration but it's still very linear when it comes to level progression.

Also, no love for Chinatown Wars? :(

Yeah, Ghostbuster looks free roaming from what I've seen, I hope I'm right.

It looks like a linear level-to-level game to me. And that's a good thing, I might add. I love sandbox games, but Ghostbusters? Nah!

Maybe I've been spoiled by a PC, but I'm not impressed with that list.

I just found some info on the game, and it's not a sandbox game, you were right all along. BTW, I'm a Ghostbusters fan.

Probably. I don't mind it... free-roam, linear, something in between doesn't matter to me. A good game is a good game.
