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

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost.

    • Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X
