As a Libertarian and a huge Ayn Rand fan, BioShock is easily my GoTY thus far. It didn't make fun of Rand at all; it just used her writing as inspiration for Rapture. I thought the setting was brilliant and did Objectivism justice. I don't see why you think Irrational was mocking her. The only game I forsee bumping off BioShock is Mass Effect or Super Mario Galaxy. |
I have to confirm this -- Bioshock does not ridicule Rand or Atlus Shrugged. I actually think they're promoting it, in a way. I wish more video games looked to classic literature for inspiration -- maybe it would influence a few people to pick up the original book.
On topic, I think the serious contenders this year are: Halo 3, Mario Galaxy, MP3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, Ratchet and Clank, and the Orange Box. It's rather impressive that so many games have come out this year that are quality enough to possibly win this.
