Eh....I bet this will run like crap on my PC.

I read previews for it, but it's not something I'm pumped about...looks really good, though. Perhaps not my type of game...but I'd like to play it.

I'll play it just because its next gen but I hate the fact that its got a slightly horror look to it. At least thats what I've gathered from the screens I've seen. Horror games make me very paranoid which I hate being.

I'll wait for reviews that weren't written over a month before release.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Would love to play the demo...haven't kept up much with this game but it looks cool from what I've been reading about it.

 

[purbeast0]

No game deserves a perfect score ... ever.

Buy this the day it comes out for the 360, even though my PC could probably run this pretty well. It will look much better on my 55" HD DLP

& I am sure this game will be proper atmospherically evil, which is really, really good.

I'm lost. Are these reviews for the 360 or the PC? I'm in the console forum so I'm making an assumption they are console reviews but you never know! I'm sure PC Gamer focuses on PC games but what about the other?

OXM = Official Xbox Magazine.. So... I'm gonna take a guess that they're looking at the Xbox version.

I'm in the same boat as you about being paranoid; but I think Bioshock is more about just feeling strange instead of 'jump out and scare you'. <- those type of games bother me.

Link to one of the revieww? Bioshock wasn't on my list of games because like others I thought it was a "horror" game. Previews like http://www.gamespot.com/xbox36.../news.html?sid=6174241 show that it is a lot more than that. There goes $60 more dollars out my pocket.

Jeez - I don't buy a ton of games, but there will be 5 absolute must-buy 360 titles in a 3-month period: Bioshock, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, HL Orange Box (though I might buy the PC version) and GTA IV, with two others in the mix that I would almost certainly buy if there weren't SO many other amazing games at the same time (Mass Effect and PGR4).

Bioshock looks like it could be like the original Half-Life - the coolest game ever made at the time of its release for someone with my sensibilities. It could also be unexceptional and unwieldy to play because of its novel, open-ended nature. We shall see, but IMO there's a lot of reason for optimism about its quality.

I don't know. Tie Fighter and the original Half Life hit it pretty close for me... I'd even argue Half Life 2. Maybe StarCraft as well. I can't think of any other games that deserved it though.

I have the same problem....I want every game you mentioned...especially Mass Effect.

I have a feeling both PGR4 and GTAIV will be pushed to 2008 purchases...the other 5 are definite purchases for this year.

Hmmm PC or XBOX 360 version... or both :evil:! Depending on the control scheme, I'll probably have to get the PC version, but I believe this isn't GFW: Live, so I can't play with the 'boxers. A bit disappointing as most will probably buy it for the XBOX 360 rather than the PC.

EDIT: Nevermind, there is no multiplayer. The only disadvantage then is that I can't let a friend borrow a PC disc if they require activation unlike a X360 disc.

NICE!

QFT... All coming out right around the time of year for xmas shopping too..

My wife and kids are SOL I see dollar store giftcards in their future.

 

[Cabages]

Awesome. Ive been psyched for this game for a long time. Looks great.

I say that, and yet the release date snuck up on me again.

Heres hoping it runs alright on my system. I guess the demo will tell.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

damn, gotta do somethng about my rig.

 

[Adn4n]

Chrono Cross deserved a perfect score in opinion, and GameSpot actually agreed...10/10
