[Real Gryff]

Gamesradar voted Orange Box game of the year but Im going to have to agree with G4. Bioshock was the most delightful gaming experience of the year. It did get the "holy crap, new idea" award though.

Gamesradar Quote
"This game didn't enthrall us with a single "new idea" - it had a million of them.

It was a shooter that didn't require guns or bullets, but loaded you with the power of fire, ice, wind and bees - yes, bees - instead. It was an RPG that assigned disturbing genetic upgrades like silent footsteps and armored skin instead of experience points. It was a horror adventure in which you, and not your enemies, committed the most terrifying and unspeakable crimes. It was an action-packed story of philosophy and psychology. Oh yeah, and the whole thing was friggin' underwater.

The list of inspired insanity goes on and on. Even if we wrote a few dozen more pages (which we have), we would barely scratch the surface. Even if you've played the System Shock games, we promise you'll be surprised by something here. BioShock is so overwhelmingly original, the mind boggles."
