BioShock!

BioShock review is up now. This review focuses almost totally on the story and themes, so later on I'll try to post some more detailed thoughts about the gameplay.

It's too early for "game of the year" proclamations, but it's safe to say that if I had to make the list now this game would be on top.

Nice review. I've downloaded the demo; do you know if it's representative?

Also, I see Super Puzzle Fighter II was just released on XBL. Will we be seeing a piece on it?

The demo is apparently the first 45 minutes of the game with a couple differences: You get extra plasmids to play with that you wouldn't get so early otherwise, and there's some kind of cutscene to let you in on more of the story. So in that sense it does sounds like you'd get the flavor of it. Certainly everybody I talked to was raving about it.

We're not going to review Puzzle Fighter, but I can't imagine I'll be able to resist getting it. And then playing it to the exclusion of everything else.
