By the way, why is it that the only start menu icon, Bioshock creates is a Windows Media Center thingy? It forces me to go into the programs folder to start the game.
The "action" songs in SS2 (like the one triggered in Med/Sci), were awful. The rest were pretty great. I mean, you're creeping along scared out of your wits, you've just seen the first ghost, and suddenly, it's like you're in a disco.
I haven't played Bioshock yet, but what you're saying is that we should cut it some slack because, compared to really crappy shooters, it's not so bad. It's Half Life, all over again.
I notice it isn't on your top 5, though.
STALKER was awesome and all, but SS2 was better. And anyway, I should be the one to decide your personal preferences.
