It has already gotten an average of 97 out of 100, based on 40 different major reviews from trusted magazines.
So BioShock just got 80 from EGM -- but it does not change anything: the average score will still be 97, based on 40 + 1 reviews.

If you win the game, you sacifice your life and die in the end. How can you get any DLC out of that?? The "good" ending also basically kills off any chance of having a sequel.
Read his quotes in the first comment in here. Those quotes reflect his position - there is really no need to try to twist his work history and make up assumptions. Those unambiguous quotes of his speak loud and clearly on where he stands.
However, the Blu-ray camp has been accusing and attacking him (Nickerson) of being pro-HD-DVD because of his continual refusal to get Warner to join Blu-ray. In a way, Nickerson has been a thorn in the side of Blu-ray because he was committ...

When did PC gaming start dying? At about the same time torrent and file sharing started since late 1990s and early 2000s.
The ease and widespread of piracy have been killing PC gaming. Game developers have turned to MMO, subscriptions, and pay-to-play as workaround solutions to fight rampant piracy. At least they know they'd always get the money from players when everyone has to pay-to-play.
So single-player games just slowly but surely fade away on PC. The ...
unless you went through the trouble to crack it yourself, or you use a cracked copy -- which is always risky because it could be infected with virus.
In BioShock's case, you'd have to activate it ONLINE to be able to play it. Otherwise, the game wouldn't even work.
There are people who read game reviews and look at the game scores to determine whether they are gonna buy a console (like PS3.) Some people are considering buying a PS3, but they don't think PS3 has enough good exclusives to justify the $500 price tag at the moment. So obviously they don't already have a PS3 to try or test the demos themselves.
In that case, they would have to read the reviews and look at the scores to determine whether PS3 has enough great exclusives. If P...
Some people are thinking about buying a PS3 but don't think there are enough good games to justify the $600 at the moment. So obviously they don't have a PS3 to play or "test drive" the demos.
That means they would have to read the reviews and look at the scores to see if PS3 has enough great exclusives. If PS3 has a bunch of universally acclaimed games that get just 9s and 10s, then they will consider getting a PS3. If big PS3 titles like Heavenly Blade and Lair ke...
all the Amazon sales chart, eBay and Best Buy postings (all for sales in North America) of "PS3 is #1" turned out to be a waste of time or space.
so I would wait and see if PS3 outsold 360 worldwide.
it got the low score for some other reasons as well, having no multiplayer is only ONE of the reasons.
PS3 did not outsell 360 in July. Shocking.
Stardust > Ratatouille > Transformers
Seriously. None of these Blu-ray's or HD-DVD's penis is biggest sh1t. Stardust is really the best film this summer, and I've watched ALL OF THEM.
Stardust is Paramount's.

Honestly, Lair and LittleBigPlanet were the only two games (out of the 6 to 8 needed for a $500 console) that could have convinced me to buy PS3. I've almost written off Lair.
Folklore, Heavenly Sword, and Uncharted are not instant "system sellers" for me *personally*, but they do look good (in that order). *IF* they consistently gets 9s and 10s when they come out, then they will become system sellers for me.
On the other hand, games like Warhawk, Home...
In response to: "Are you saying that 360, or Wii has "6 to 8" exclusive kiler titles out for them right now? I haven't seen them. I like sony, but if 360 had 6 to 8 killer exclusives, I would have gotten that system as well. C'mon man be real."
Xbox 360 or Wii does not have 6 to 8 killer titles that I want, *BUT* their prices are lower.
PRICE does factor into the overall consideration.

I want a PS3, but not right away. I can wait. At $500, PS3 would have to show me 6 to 8 *true* exclusive killer GAME titles to entice me. I am not like some blind Sony fanatical worshiper, who would just pay $600 for a console as long as it's from Sony - even when the console has no great exclusive games that I really want at the moment.
I do not buy something just because it's made by Sony or Microsoft. I buy a console just so I can play the killer exclusives that I really wan...
and right now PS3 needs system sellers.

The HD-DVD camp offers Paramount/Dreamworks $150 mil and Warner $225 mil for exclusive support. Paramount/Dreamworks took the offer; now it's up to Warner.
Since Warner started releasing for hi-def, I think they have not yet earned $50 mil for sales of both Blu-ray and HD-DVD discs, combined. So $225 mil could be a very tempting offer.
As for Microsoft, its revenue will top $50 billion for this financial year. That's BILLION = one thousand millions. The profi...
