Mine would be Bioshock, but I'm in the process of remedying that.

There are already some early reviews up, and it's not looking too bad at all, though from what the IGN review indicated, it seems the PS3's version cut some corners in the graphics department when compared to 360.

Gamerankings has 360 at 81.29% with 7 reviews, PS3 at 76.23% with 13, Wii at 70% with 2, and PC at 81.5% with 2.

I was cautiously waiting for some reviews to come in before I decided whether or not to pick it up, but I'm still not 100% sure. I'm leaning towards yes though.

IM PLAYING IT NOW! Losers.

dripgutz24 · 06-16-2009, 10:27 AM

So who picked up the game, I wanna see some players reviews.

*Brodie* · 06-16-2009, 11:33 AM

I played last night and on my lunch break today, and got passed the Stay Puft boss fight. I'm wondering how long it is, but aside from that it's a pretty good game.

The mechanics take some getting used to, but after that it gets more interesting. The game is harder than I imagined it would be, which is surprising, but not a bad thing.

The checkpoint system isn't as forgiving as other games, which I think a lot of spoiled gamers might get pissed about.

The game is legitimately funny, but early reviews stating it sounded like Bill Murray doing an impression of Bill Murray from 1990 is pretty accurate. Still funny, though. And though it would have been more interesting to edit the character you play, the facial expression on the main character is really good. Especially as the single form of communication, its pretty effective.

Yeah. Spoiled by lack of frustration...How dare I get annoyed with having to drive to the start of a GTA IV mission if I fail?

The Xbox 360 version kicks the PS3 version's ass. I'll be switching my purchase accordingly.

*Brodie* · 06-16-2009, 02:01 PM

I feel like the game is all about fan service without being a ****** game. For pure nastalgia, I found myself smiling, and laughing while playing. A really genuine, retard-happy smile. That happens rarely.

dripgutz24 · 06-16-2009, 02:49 PM

Well I rented the game and I'm in the time square area at the stay puft part and so far I think the game is really awesome on the 360.

*gobo* · 06-16-2009, 09:01 PM

Just bought mine. 360. Haven't had too much time to devote to it yet. Pretty 'not bad' so far.

How is this possible?

*Dr. Doom* · 06-16-2009, 10:01 PM

Where the hell have you been for the past 2 and a half years?

*Brodie* · 06-16-2009, 10:15 PM

Clearly he's been making youtube videos with his toys.

GBUpdate: Still great.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-17-2009, 03:18 AM

I'd be playing it right now, but I broke my foot helping my sister built furniture. I'm hiked up on pain meds at the moment, and don't want anything ruining this, so I'll do it tomorrow afternoon. Probably spend the whole damn day playing it.

I still think it's a game, but it is totally a fan game. I'm realizing how much of a nerd I am picking out little things in teh game and where they're from. I find myself laughing a lot with it because of references and the dialogue. I'm at the library. I plan on getting back to it after work. I am really enjoying the game so far.

Edit: The soundtrack is pretty sweet too so far

*Brodie* · 06-17-2009, 08:54 AM

I'm bummed Xbox live was down on launch day, but it should be back up so I can try out the co-op style missions.
