Oh noes!!! I went out an bought Bioshock two days ago because this pole favored it over Halo, but now Halo is the favorite!

Guess I'll have to go out and buy Halo 3 now :p.

My impressions of Bioshock: I haven't made it very far at all, but so far I like it. It has a very creepy bizarre yet somehow nostalgic atmosphere that is definitely something unique and I've never seen before in a video game. So far I think that the game moves kinda slow and is actually very hard at the medium difficulty setting.

If Halo 3 is anything like Halo 1 or 2, then it probably has a more "arcade shooter" style to it. Like you are up against a LOT of guys and have a ton of ammo and everything is real intense.... while Bioshock is more spooky with guys jumping out at you from the corner and you only have 2 bullets in your pistol so you can't be so spooked that you miss.

Alas, I will just have to go out and get Halo 3 :D.

If Halo 3 Single Player is anything like Halo 2, Bioshock gets my vote and wins hands down. I bought Halo 2 for my original Xbox and got bored right away with it in the very beginning. I then made the mistake of purchasing it for my PC when it came out thinking I might somehow enjoy it this time around, but nope it was as boring as ever and I couldn't gain any interest in it, haven't played it again since I got it around June. Yes Halo is just that bad of a game, extremely hyped and overrated without merit.

Bioshock as well as Prey were some of the many games I have played which I got immersed in and could not stop playing. About a week ago, I stayed up almost the entire night playing Bioshock. When I looked at the time it was 4am in the morning.

Bioshock gets my Vote although I am only playing it on the absolute lowest graphics settings seeing as my PC is not able to handle anything more and has fairly older hardware. I can't wait to play Bioshock as well as my many other games when I finally build a new PC and can enjoy the full experience cranked up on the highest settings.

But hey, whatever you prefer I guess. :p

Have both, love them both. .. Halo 3 gets the nod for excellent multiplayer, replayability, and overall package. . but Bioshock has a much better single player experience (story is fantastic, but once you get through it, there is little long term replay value)

They are very close in terms of campaign. Bioshock had alot of scripted things in it's campaign and no original mechanics. Most of it was copy cat stuff with a good story and art coating it. I wasn't really impressed when I beat Bioshock almost completely the hard way in 8 hours on medium difficulty. I do acknowledge the depth of the story, but all these choices really boil down to one of them... harvest or save.

Halo 3 has many non-linear levels, wide open environments as well as alot of things going on at the same time, and even wonderful AI. The campaign is very replayable with the skulls and terminals as well as the meta game (remember that MP isn't the only thing Halo has going for it now). The meta game provides a fun challenge for people who only have a couple friends and no Live access. While the story isn't as incredibly innovative as Bioshocks, Halo makes up for it in the beauty of its graphics and sheer scale of what you see and the weapons you use.

Personally, Halo 3 is the winner. Bioshock is a two time through game and your done where Halo 3, even without the incredible multiplayer, is still a far more robust experience. I almost forgot the replay feature works in campaign as well as the screenshot feature. You don't need Live to enjoy that stuff.

Well I'm not a huge Halo fan, but I ordered H3, mostly because of the multiplayer.

But Bioshock really didn't impress me, neither with graphics gamepla or the so called story, though I only played the demo, but nothing in the demo intrigued me to want to play the full game.

And Halo 3 got multiplayer.

"so called story" and you didn't even play the full game? Please.. please.. say you are joking.

Bought Halo 3 today and I think Bioshock is better in everyway (except multiplayer). Graphics are good but not awsome as BioShock!

Another think... the Halo monsters... oh well. At least they got rid of those stupid monster voices from Halo 1.

Halo 3 is more of the same. Bioshock, a completely new game!

i have no idea, but I assume Halo3+BS=madness at its best ;)

(oh and maybe a lil bit Kill Zone 2... but... that's some totally different kind of shooter...)

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
