Bioshock has blown my mind

Go ahead, laugh! Poke fun, get it all out of your system now!
You done? Good!
Not recently have I been so pulled in by a games atmosphere. Rapture and it's spliced up inhabitants sucked me in like a vacuum and even now, my mind still echoes Andrew Ryan quotes. There was just something so inadvertently perfect about the game: it was able to take a gripping story, fill it with meaningful and coherent characters, and wrap all of this up in the prettiest art-deco package I've ever seen. 2K Boston.... I think I'm in love!
I could rattle on and on about how awesome it is, but good lord, I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times by now! So I'll just say this: best FPS I've played this year. Sorry Resistance 2, but you just can't beat a Big Daddy!
Of course I was playing a PS3 port of the game, but it is a damn perfect port!
The PS3 isn't a second hand system though, Sony has some heavy hitters on the market now, and some on the way (Killzone 2, god of war 3, etc). Little Big Planet is this year's exclusive gem, and I'm adoring every moment I spend with this incredible masterpiece. This game is so intelligently designed universities should teach a course from it. Media Molecule is truly an expert developer!
At first, I thought that designing levels would be boring, but I was dead wrong! Creating your own content is a blast, and I can easily pour hours into the process. If I'm feeling lazy, I can hop on PSN and play some other user levels, some of which are incredibly good. All in all, a great package and easily worth the 60 clams.
Other than that, I've been busy with school and with friends, but I never forget to wind down from time to time and get in some quality gaming. We all need a release, eh? As for the future, I'm currently hyped about that new Prince of Persia, and after I finish my college apps I'll be ordering myself a copy. If I've still got time, I'll also rent Valkyria Chronicles. Can't wait!
