It's gotta be Bioshock single player, Halo multiplayer.

I haven't played Halo 3 single player but it surely can't touch Bioshocks unique underwater city, story and voice acting/characters. Not to mention Big daddies/Little sisters just kick ass!

I'm open to pe proven wrong, but I don't think I can be convinced.

Both are great games. I've been a Halo fan since shortly after the first one came out and the story is fantastic. But in the end, it's just a run and gun game when it comes to single player (which isn't a bad thing - that's actually part of the reason I love it so much). Bioshock is something different and, having been built ground up as a single player game, I think the devs did just an astounding job making probably one of the best SP experiences ever, and for that reason, despite the fact that I like Halo as a franchise a whole lot more (I've had way too much fun with it not too), I have to pick Bioshock for SP.

Everyone saying Halo wins for MP, I have one work for you: "duh" :p As Bioshock doesn't have MP, it really can't compare...

I just wasn't all that impressed with Bioshock. I can't really put my finger on what bothered me, but I know I breathed a sigh of relief when I finally finished it. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Halo 3 for me!

Very well said.

I think the point that Bioshock was built as a new IP is not one to be taken likely.

i beat Bioshock and Halo 3 both on the hardest difficulty and i can say basically for a fact that bioshock single player is better. There is just simply WAY more content, WAY more to do, and its free-roam!! many different ways to do things (non-linear)....

Halo 3 is just straight action linear game play to get your achievements and then its off to online. fun, but not near as satisfying as bioshock

anybody who says different is just a halo fanboy

I think Irrational Games / 2K Games have done really well and this poll shows just that.

Who expected that Microsoft/Bungie would get such stiff competition from Irrational Games -> 2K Games.

One of the great things about Bioshock is that it's just the first episode and more to come while for Halo this is the end of the line.

Bioshock is so much better, Halo 3 might as well be Halo 2 with better GFX, no innovation.

Halo 3 not innovative? Have you even played it?? Have you seen the replay feature, where you can re-watch your entire campaign, or any multiplayer match you've played, pause it anytime you want, and move around the level in free roam, moving it frame by frame from any perspective you want? Take screenshots of the frame, upload it all to the internet, share it with friends etc. I'd call that pretty damn innovative for the Halo series, and for console games in general.

Anyway, i voted Bioshock, as it have me the best SP experience Ive ever had

    • Look up "greed". If you are willing to buy that it's only inflation, I've got a bridge to sell you.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
