The Associated Press put out a pretty good year-end list about games and named BioShock its game of the year. Sure, the AP almost invalidates the entire year-end round-up by mistakenly listing BioShock as available for PlayStation 3; however, because the wire service didn't simply phone in Halo 3 as their game of the year, we'll generously overlook their faux pas. Speaking of Halo 3, the AP actually says it was the "most overrated game" of the year ... not saying we agree, just sayin' is all.
The AP gave more accolades to the likes of The Orange Box for "best deal" and Rock Band for "best game that involves getting off the sofa" while trashing Lair as the "best idea for a game gone horribly wrong." One sentiment that we think everyone can agree with: the federal law requiring all good games to be released within weeks of each other has to be overturned.

I'd go with Halo 3 being overrated. I was stoked for the first couple of hours to be playing in the Halo universe in hi def but I've really had to drag myself through the final parts. Traveling through the flood's organic labyrinth near the end was a complete chore and I'm so glad to be a chapter away from the end.
Bioshock again - Great game but a little too long for itself - repetition sets in towards the end.

I agree with Halo 3 being overhyped. The problem is, many gamers do not realize they are buying into perpetuating rahash garbage buy standing in lines waiting for mario 15, or halo 10. When all we have is rehashes fanboy garbage, who then will step up as a company and provide for us diehard gamers who do not claim alliengence to one console? The entire community needs to stand their ground, and demand decent wares for our dollars.
