BioShock is better than Halo 3 because of... MULTIPLAYER
Joe's argument: Many games fail because they try to do too much. Because Ken Levine’s team at 2K Boston (formerly Irrational Games) was liberated from the need to tick a box on some idiotic marketing document, they were free to prime and polish the single player campaign into a taut and terrifying experience.
I’m not going to miss multiplayer at all. If I want 12 year-olds pretending to squat on my face while screaming “Lick it, bitch!” I have any number of games that will yield a near-identical experience. I’m much more interested in BioShock’s fascinatingly twisted story. The only story you’d hear in multiplayer is about what your mom did last night.
Charlie's response: BioShock has NO multiplayer. The Halo series has the most popular multiplayer of all time, and for good reason. On this aspect, no argument is needed. If you want to play with your friends online and you can only buy one game, you have to go with Halo 3.
