Here we go, I've decided (for the hell of it) to predict the winners of every Gamespot award of 2008. I know what you're thinking "but a lot of good games aren't even out yet!." I know this, but I want to see how many I get right, plus it's easy to predict how media responds to games based on the hype.

Welp, let's get started!

So, there it is (I don't agree with a lot of it). Agree, disagree? Give your own list or respond to choices in the comment section!

It seems many people i know have been going on rants on how "there are no goodgames compared to the old days" or"there is so much crapin gaming." This is of course, what I'd like to call a case of the bioshock. Bioshock is truely a masterpiece, a awesome and powerful game and one of the best ever.

Obviously a game like this will make you think, "why cant they all be like this?" but really they cant, buisness cant survive like that.

Oddly the bioshock developers made bioshock to not only make a great game, but to cause gamers to question the industry itself, which im sure that anyone that has been with bioshock since it was announced would agree on.

So yeah, I just wanted to try to show a reason on why all these rants are popping up, and promoting bioshock more hehe, IT'S SUCH A GREAT GAME!
