Epic Games developer Cliffy B who is the lead designer over at Epic has come out and stated that Bioshock on the Xbox 360 is his game of the year.

He stated on his blog that he is not biased at all even though Bioshock used the Epic Games studio technology to help create the game.

He stated that "Bioshock is hands down my game of the year. That’s right, I said it. I was looking forward to coming home from work and firing this bad boy up throughout the entire experience. Last time that happened was RE4 and God of War(s.) I’m not just saying this because it uses our technology or because I’m friends with some of the team members, no, it is in fact a phenomenal blend of well paced horror, narrative, action and meta RPG moments."

The best part about the game is the fact that the majority of the narrative is what I like to call, simply "passive narrative." There’s a recording on a desk, there’s a painting or a picture on the wall - you want to ignore them as a gamer, fine, you won’t get any story. But you know what? Few people would ignore them and if a person is that determined to undermine the coolness of their interactive experience they’re going to find a way. Hell you can walk out of a movie or eject a DVD if you don’t want to find out what happens in a film."
