    BioShock reviews over at Eurogamer and C&VG

    .. Pretty much it - Eurogamer and C&VG have reviews up on their sites. GamesRadar also but you need to reg to read it (which just annoys me so I wont ever bother).
    What we share with everyone is glum, and dark...

    The GamesRadar one is just a copy of the CVG one anyway, so no point trying really.

    both very complimentary reviews..

    Re: BioShock reviews over at Eurogamer and C&VG

    Eurogamer gives 10/10. CVG is 95%, I didn't realise they were the same though. They started similarly but I thought they were different.. I didn't really read all that closely. Impression seemed to be wow, pretty, amazing sound, fantastic moments and scenes, and naff ending.

    cool could this better and more innovating than crysis? crysis does look amazing but what else is good about it? from what i have read and heard of bioshock it seems more innovative than crysis

    Re: BioShock reviews over at Eurogamer and C&VG

    Thanks for the info. I actually enjoy all these pre-release excitements. Somtimes it turns out that it's more exciting than the game itself and that's the problem but as for Bioshock I guess it's not going to happen

    When I played Half-life2 for the first time, I had serious motion sickness too. So it must be just as good

    No, I meant the GamesRadar one was the same as the CVG one - the Eurogamer is different (it's for the 360 version anyway)

    Eurogamer link:
    http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php...d=81479&page=1

    The reviewer has basically written three pages of all out worship for the game. I've got it on pre-order from play - letrs hope it lives up to its reviews.

    Re: BioShock reviews over at Eurogamer and C&VG

    I like how there are 153 user votes for a game that isn't out yet... even if it's just the demo they're voting on, that's probably 10 mins of action. People are weird
