Hi Oli,

I think Gears of War is the best looking game on 360. Cant comment on Halo 3 Single Player till we all get to see it, but Bioshock was not something I would say surpasses Gears. In terms of a game with a great story, well, depends on what stories you like. I've personally liked the Legend Of Zelda OOT and Secret of Mana for their story. Most view OOT as the best story and game of all time.
I did say my comments were about the demo. How can you be so overwhelmed by a story that only went for a few minutes? I think your intrigued, and want to know more of this story's early stages, however, to call it a great story is a bit premature. We can revisit this once we've played the game further.
Also, in terms of innovation in a game, well, Mario 64 was extremely innovative taking the whole 3D experience to the next level, and this game is still regarded as one of the best. I thought GOW had taken shooters to that new level and separated itself from the rest in terms of its cover system. Grand Theft pioneered the open city and roaming aspect of games. So when I see a new shooter, its competing against many other shooters that have come before it. Will Bioshock change much from the fundamental formula? I am not sure. Is Halo 3 going to be different in terms of innovation over Halo 2? Not sure as yet, till we play it. Is COD4 going to change shooters again? Now that does look extremely likely.
