It should be about 8.8...I think it's been too much hyped and after I played the demo, I can tell we're now in a Make-Your-Own-Fashionable-FPS era.

We get all those "high personality" and supossed to be creative and really special FPS on the 360 these times, but after all, they're all the same : The Darkness, Call Of Juarez or Bioshock, or Condemned. I'm tired of all these fps, I feel that I play all the sames and they're supossed to be unique.
So my prediction is based on the "The Darkness" score, which is 8.5 and based on the fact that the game is going to be a little bit better and based on the fact that the hype has been much more huge, Gamespot will have no choices but to put a higher score than The Darkness.

I somewhat agree. Developers are putting more and more emphasis on atmosphere and presentation while forgetting about core gameplay. But I think Bioshock will be a pretty interesting take on the new FPS/RPG hybrid that's been getting popular.

As far as Gamespot ratings go, take M2TW (I know it's PC and a completely different genre) for example. They gave it an 8.8, and the developers of the game admitted they shipped it early, with features they knew that were broken (such as polearm unit attacks), in order to have it out before Christmas. I generally use Gamespot ratings as a range to determine how good the game really is, as sometimes their reviews are spot on but other times they're rather shallow. With that in mind, I suppose Gamespot will give Bioshock a 9.5.

I can personally recommend Dead Rising. Plenty of stuff to do, good replay value. I've heard good things about Condemned too, though I thought it was more a shooter than an action/adventure game (never played it). Overlord is worth a rent.

gonna get this land where you want FTW, no more set paths stupid COD!

Just because you can land where you want doesn't mean the level still isn't a small, linear, repetitive mess.

there were great games for the 360 at launch!

Kameo, Quake4, assorted EA Sports games, a few racing games, and Perfect Dark Zero. Personally, I'd say lackluster at best. Not games I'd drop hundreds of dollars on in order to play. Especially compared to what's coming out in the next few months.

Unless you were being sarcastic, in which case I suck at the internet.

Mine freezes every once in awhile, but I've never had the 3 rings of death. Got it December of last year.

At the moment I don't see the point in buying a 360, unless you need a DVD player that also plays the 5 or so good games that have come out for the console. Don't get me wrong, XBL is a great service and I like the console, I'd just personally wait until November or December to buy one, when there's a good amount of great games to play.

Also, I don't think ~$1,000 could get you a PC that would have the equivalent performance of a 360, though I havn't looked at hardware prices lately.
