Twilight Princess came out last year. I cannot support Bioshock as game of the year because it is highly political in a way that I disagree with, it makes fun of Ayn Rand.

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 agree and I thought that Bioshock was reasonably objective ...

Bioshock is one of the few games I think that could actually be classified as speculative fiction, and like all good speculative fiction it creates a world based on a premise and explores the outcome. Bioshock's premise is "What would happen if you had a world were scientists were free from all moral codes and could manipulate what makes us human" ... In many ways the game reminds me of Frankenstein but I don't want to go into details

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.



outlawauron on 14 October 2007

1. Bioshock
2. God of War II (surprised no mentioned this)
3. Halo 3
4. Odin Sphere
5. Heavenly Sword

Guys, Twilight Princess can NOT be a choice. It was released in 2006! Not 07!
