On top of the game itself receiving the all-time highest ranking (96 out of 100 overall) on review site Metacritic, 2K Games revealed that the BioShock demo set a new record on Xbox Live. It’s the fastest downloaded demo to ever reach the one million mark. In only nine days since its release on Xbox Live, BioShock had outperformed every other demo release on the service, demonstrating both the incredible anticipation for the game and the growth of Xbox Live’s community.
“We are really pleased that Microsoft’s Xbox LIVE Marketplace has managed to attract a record number of gamers to its site to download and check out BioShock,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. “The overwhelmingly positive response is not only reflected in the traffic to Xbox LIVE, but the record breaking score reported by Metacritic. We’re excited about the reception the fans have given BioShock and are honored that the game has been recognized as ‘Game of the Year’ material.”

Bioshock does not have the all-time highest ranking on review site Metacritic, unless you meant just 360 games.

It seems like a lot of people on my friends list are done with it, but to say everyone is done with it is just foolish.
