Aug 20, 2007 BioShock is one scary as hell game. Deformed creatures leap at you from the shadows, rotting corpses line the hallways and disturbing messages cover the walls. Scrawled in blood, of course. Nothing, however, is as terrifying as an encounter with the boogey man of Rapture, the hulking metallic monster called Big Daddy. You feel him coming before you see or hear him. The ground shakes and the controller rumbles menacingly with every footstep. When you round the corner and find ... » Read More

Dutch gaming-website InsideGamer.nl reports, that with a perfect review for Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and eight nearly perfect scores for BioShock, both titles will most likely duke it out for the title 'best game' ever. Read more below.

Directly translated from source:

''Two games of the same genre, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Wii and BioShock for the Xbox 360 and PC, could both try to end up in the list of the top 10 best videogames of all time. Both first-person adventures, and both pioniers according to critici, are getting nearly perfect scores.

BioShock has gained eight reviews, and the average is about 9,9 out of 10. According to GameRankings, BioShock needs only two reviews with a rate of 9,7 or higher to conquer the title 'best videogame to date'. BioShock would even beat The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - which has been on top of the list for years.

Metroid Prime's first review came from the North-American magazine Nintendo Power, which gives it a perfect score of 10 out of 10. Nintendo Power didn't even gave The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, nor The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, this rating.''
