Well, so I tried the Bioshock demo last night. I was expecting pretty great things, as I listened to the 1up Yours podcast this week. They just kept spewing on about how great this game is going to be, how it will be game of the year, how great the graphics are, how big it will sell, and so on.

Yeah..... well at least I agree that the graphics kick ass. It has the best water effects I've ever seen. The textures are very detailed and the lighting is superb.

I just didn't think the demo was very fun. It was like trying to stick fast paced FPS action into a slow paced "exploration" type game. I think it was cool how you can search through the trash and other various places for items, but that just didn't really mix well with the action for me. The storyline seems cool, as do the special powers,  and I like the idea of the voice diary system thing.

I think the project may have just been a bit too ambitious. Cool ideas, but they don't flow well together. Maybe the demo just sucked and the full game will be better. I'm just thinking that this will probably not be game of the year this year.
