Going by the demo and what I've read from every review so far, I'd say Bioshock is not only the best game this month, but the best game of the year, and maybe even the best game since LoZ OoT.

I'd wait for reviews for every game before making a decision. Bioshock seems to be the winner though,

People voted for Warhawk?

Anyway, it almost has to be Bioshock. Metroid Prime 3 will also be good, but I highly doubt it will live up to Bioshock.

There have been megaton games like MEtroid Prime, Halo ,Half life 2 and Resident Evil 4 since and i'm talking about critical acclaim. I would say best game since RE4.

Goes to Bioshock hands down. I might actually pay the $59.99 for this game as the demos is incredible. I still haven't tried Stanglehold yet, but I will this weekend. I game looked like a must have as well.

So far Bioshock has received a "AAAA" rating overall on GameRankings.com I wonder what Gamespot will give it?

Oh it goes to Bioshock easily! Followed very closely by Metroid but I think Metroid Prime 3 is being over shadowed by Bioshock which is a shame really.

The best overall rated game in August is obviously going to be Bioshock, but i'm probably going to be playing in August the most forgotten August release Monster Hunter Freedom 2.

I'd vote for Persona 3 if it were up there, but since my 360 is in repair land...ehhh, don't have a Wii. Gonna have to go with Warhawk. Still waiting on that Bioshock demo for the PC. If my rig can handle it, then the PC version of Bioshock will be my next game purchase next to Warhawk.

Look at this gameplay video!!

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/22718.html

It barely looks AA! Probably A!

why would you hype this garbage when, WAY better, veteran games are coming out like, Halo 3, UT3, COD4, Bad Company, Frontlines: Fuels of War, etc....

Hmm I really think Metroid Prime 3 is going to come out with avengeance next week.

I mean best FPS controls ever? Closest to mouse and keyboard? (What people are saying)

I think the lack of marketing for this game by Ninty is the only thing hurting this title.

Plus, you know Wii owners are dieing for one of the big 3.

BioShock looks and plays great but it doesn't have "metroid" in its title.

Nor does it have a fight with Ridley while falling down a shaft.

I think BioShock has potential to be GOTY

But I think MP3 has potential to revolutionize gaming and the FPS control scheme as we know it.

I know what you are getting at, and I almost actually said RE4, but those games (including RE4) are more just finely polished games more than near art that shows how a true game world and story should be presented. Bioshock is not only a milestone in gameplay like those you mentioned, it is a milestone in the way we look at how a game approaches manipulation of the person playing it.

Only RE4 comes close to doing that on this level, and I think Bioshock will be a larger milestone than RE4. That is why I decided to go all the way back to OoT.

I could be wrong, I just said what I think will happen based on all the 10 out of 10 reviews that keep pooring in.

Wow. Some of those early reviews of Bioshock on Game Rankings :shock: I'm not sure Halo 3, MP3 or any other game this year are going to match those scores. 10/10, 5/5, 9.7/10 and 9.4/10 just to mention a few.

It doesn't fit the Game of the Month but it can sure fit into the Multiplayer Game of the Month. Which makes for the perfect combo of games I think to purchase if you're into those types of games.

Waaaaait a minute. Where the -F- is Tekken Online? "Supposingly" it's coming out next week and I think that's a great purchase. Sure it's an add on for those who already own Tekken: DR but it will be available as a full purchase for those who don't have it.

OoT is my favourite game ever but i don't know..Metroid Prime was pretty damn amazing , it got a 9.7 on GS.

Do you always decide the quality of a game before you even play it?

This coming from a guy who has a Halo sig. Now that is one of the most overrated games I have ever played.

Online game isn't gonna beat any game on that list....Tc said best of August not what u want for august. If taht were the case, Blue Dragon should be up there.

Bioshock will destory all.( yes ill know there are 10 million Wii owners right now able to get Metroid, but bioshock has 11 million 360 owners and millions of PC gamers waiting for it)

Halo 2 lasted me a total of 36 months of hilarious, sad, action packed, and fun online.

you fail. Warhawk WILL be garbage. Trust me.
