Bioshock sweeps Game Audio Awards, wins eight awards |
Ó
It seems that the massive amount of praise heaped upon 2K Games' Bioshock (Xbox 360, PC) has not yet been deemed massive enough, as this year's Game Audio Awards bestowed the gene-splicing dystopian FPS eight counts of being the most beautifully-sounding game this generation. Count 'em - eight awards, awarded because Bioshock sounded so damn good. That, dear readers, is hardcore.
And while yours truly personally believes that something like Super Mario Galaxy could get an award or two, BioShock really deserves every award it gets. For not only did it succeed in a genre that's saturated to the hilt, it gave the entire videogame world a rousing shake as to what storytelling should be. And boy, did it shake.

Why is this in the PS3 section? Oh, I know...Bioshock 2 is coming to the PS3!
why IS this on the PS3 section? Kinda figured they would win all that.
Why the hell didn't it get any awards for its abso;utly superb storyline or gameplay. Its definetly the best game ive EVER played. I loved it so much I unlocked all its acheivments 8-)
Wow, not one award for the Wii's pathetic games. Looks like Nintendo didn't bribe this award ceremony like the BAFTA awards where somehow Wii sports won awards for crazy categories like "best strategy and simulation game."
