Its been a while since a new blog...ok, a looong while since a new blog 
. But any who, im finally writing a blog so ya betta post in it! Or prepare to be shunned! SHHHUUUNNED!!!!
So i got Bioshock the day it came out. Ive played the demo more than once so i knew what i was doing in the intro. Oh, btw...this game has one of the most AMAZING presentations i have ever seen since MGS1 and Half-Life2! And thats saying very little 
. But here i am, i get past the part where the demo ends, and im cant help but think, "this game is so amazing i can spend an hour just looking at the scenery!" SERIOUSLY! This game is absolutely gorgeous! And i wasnt even playing on my HDTV at the time 
!
So i find a shotgun thats just laying there on the ground, in this gigantic room thats darker than anything, with only one bright light shinning where the shotgun lay. And im thinking, "as soon as i pick up this shotty, i know something is gonna happen!" Well....i was right lol! [spoiler] Suddenly all the lights shut-off back and forth, while at the same time im hearing maniacal screams from crazy grannies coming from all sides! I get my electrical charge ready to stun one of the ladies momentarily, and BOOM!, i blast them with the shotgun. Then...BOOM again! Only i missed! And i get whacked hard!
Not only that....this game has made me realized that im a hardcore achievement junkie 
. Literally the first thing i did once i booted up Bioshock was check out the achievements to see if they have one for beating the game on hard. Unsurprisingly it did, in which i choose Hard Mode at the start up menu just to get that achievement 
. Which im sorta regretting now cause the game is..well...F-ing HARD lolz! But im still pushing, and i know im gonna beat this game.
The point of this thread....is that BioShock has the potential to win Game of the Year. HUGE potential! And im only in the beginning! Which also bring me to another point. The score that GS has giving to Bioshock. While i dont disagree with the 9.0 it received, i believe thats a fair score. What i disagree is with Jeff's professional reviews. He states that after long hours of play time, there can be second long freezes in the game. Look, i played Bioshock from 7pm last night, to 2am. Thats 7 hours, and i didnt experience a dam thing. Elder Scrolls IV : Oblivion had the most "hitches" that i have ever seen in any game on my 360, and it received a score of 9.6. And the reviewer (which was not Jeff, it was Greg Kasavin) stated that the technical issues where passable. Also, Jeff states that the games lack of death penalty (which i some-what disagree) makes things too easy. Well....he's obviously not playing on hard mode like my ass is I believe that Bioshock should have deserved that 9.5. B/c quite frankly, with this new review system in place, a .5 means a lot now. I under stand that a review is all based on opinion, but Jeff's past reviews (Gears of Wars 9.6 and ZELDA: TP's 8.8 ) is making him look very un-proffesional in my personal opinion. Im beginning to think that GS uses reviews to boost activity/traffic up (specifically in System Wars) by giving extremly surprising reviews (Tony Hawk 3 ring a bell??) despite many other common and similiar reviews found among other gamesites other than GS it self.
GameSpot is beginning to lose its good credibility. Fanboys are now indirectly ruining GS' credibility b/c of System Wars being GameSpots main drive in its forum system. That, is the biggest point of my blog. Agree? Disagree?
