Forums - Gaming - Bioshock wins another GOTY award, this time from GameInformer

 Update:  Editors' top 10 pciks listed!

 

I tried the link but it doesn't work. I do have the magazine in front of me so you need to trust me that Bioshock was chosen as the Game of the Year.

GameInformer lists 50 great games of 2007.

Here are the highlights:

Best Moments of 2007: Entering Andrew Ryan's Office (Bioshock)

Best Hero of 2007: Mario (Super Paper Mario, Galaxy)

Best Villain of 2007: Big Daddies (Bioshock)

Best Dork of 2007: The MC (Fuzion Frenzy)

Worst games of the year: Fuzion Frenzy 2, Looney tunes, Two Worlds,

Best Developer: Infinity Ward

Best Publisher: Microsoft.

Highlighted Games: Crackdown, God of War 2, Ghost Recon 2, Forza 2, The Darkness, Blue Dragon, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Assassin's Creed

 

I think maybe this year GameInformer really liked xbox360.

 

Please help me, if you can, get the link to work from Gameinformer.com

Thank god that abysmal piece of crap Halo 3 managed to stay off this list for the mosr part.



Best publisher should be Nintendo. Best hero should be Master Chief, and best developer should be Bioware. All wrong.



Well I'm not surprise Bioshock received another GOTY reward. It deserves it...clearly no game out this year (2007) could stop it other than Halo 3.

 Meh, Bioshock is overrated, but it has guns and graphics, so of course it won



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

Gameinformer is connected with Gmestop I believe - I don't know if they are biased or not.

Great year for nintendo, but games wise, Xbox360 clearly had the best games.
Just bought Mario Galaxy - looking forward to it. how many stars are there? 120 or over 200?



I think its 120, but I could be wrong. Bioshock is not overrated, just because it isn't your cup o' tea Avinash, doesn't mean it isn't deserving of every GOTY it gets, and every 90+ score it has on its gameranking. Let's try being a little more open-minded towards anything that doesn't have the Nintendo name on it, shall we?



Currently Playing:

PS4 - Killzone:SF and Assasins Creed 4

Really your statement was way overrated...

Personally, I never played the game before because I don't own a Xbox 360. But you can rest assure that its a solid game. Reviews are spot on and I hear alot about this game at work and at college.

 Meh, Mario Galaxy is overrated, but it has running and jumping, so of course it won


You see how ridiculous this kind of statement sounds?  (NOTE: I love both Galaxy and Bioshock)

 Bioshock was an absolutely fantastic experience, aurally, graphically, storywise, immersion-wise, and gameplay-wise.  Biggest plot twist since Kotor, most interesting setting in any game, ever, unsettling atmosphere, fun-to-use plasmids, tightly-honed gunplay, and of course, the Big Daddies, make this one of the best games ever made.
