Wow... I totally agree. As for anybody myopic enough to consider Bioshock the first real attempt by a game to achieve the level of high art, I'd point them in the direction of Shadow of the Colossus. The game is extremely tactile as well as emotional.

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but read any Kotaku or Joystiq article about the game and you'd find scads of "Could this be the first example of games as art??"

For my money, I thought Shadow of the Colossus was a lot more emotionally impacting than this game.

thank you so much for spoiling what happens to the little sisters, ie. saving them. etc.
