IGN Had this to say:

There is art here, despite what many would say isn’t possible with games, from Roger Ebert to game designers like Hideo Kojima. But it’s in BioShock–it’s in the gorgeously realized, watery halls of Rapture. It’s in a Little Sister’s expression of thanks when you choose to save her, or the utter silence if you harvest instead. It’s in the way the characters develop, in the testimonials of the recording boxes you pick up along the way. It’s in the way the narrative is structured, and the way it blends so seamlessly with the action. Irrational had a clear vision with this game, something pulled off with remarkable precision in every department. They didn’t just deliver something that’s fun to play, a criterion so often cited as the benchmark of what makes a game worthwhile. BioShock stands as a monolithic example of the convergence of entertaining gameplay and an irresistibly sinister, engrossing storyline that encompasses a host of multifaceted characters. This is an essential gaming experience.

Laura and her cousins (and sister) picked me up after work tonight and we saw ‘Superbad.’ It was okay.

Some moments were hilariously funny, many were just dumb. The first third was a bit over the top because of how crass one of the main characters was all the time. As more things actually happened and there was less just standing around, talking, it got better.

Afterwards, they all came here and raided my piles of things to give away. In addition to all the stuff I donated to the Salvation Army this morning, I definitely cut down on a lot of stuff today =)
