Bioshock Wins Game of the Year

I am honestly *slightly* shocked that BioShock, as beautiful game as it was, and its original and unique stotyline has turned out to be the winner in this years Video Game Awards. I was expecting Crysis to win the Best Game of the Year Award, but Crysis only had the Best Graphics Award, Bioshock got 3 Awards and Microsoft’s Halo 3 got 2. LAS VEGAS, Dec. 8 2007 Winners were announced for the Spike TV’s 5th annual “Video Game Awards,” the preeminent celebration of achievement in the gaming world.
