Also I have never played System Shock so to me Bioshock is newer than to those who have, again giving it more of a chance for game of the year. |
Usually I would agree, but Bioshock *really* rips off from System Shock. I haven't played the game eithe but there has been about 40 emails flooding my mailbox this morning at work because of the Zero Punctuation review and what he said about System Shock. Apparently the only real difference are the names and setting and that's about it. It's like trying to say there's a large difference between Pokemon Red and Pokemon Pearl.
