Bioshock, in terms of gameplay, is just a mix between DOOM and Prey. Not only do you have about the same weapons as in doom/prey, but you have to do the same stuff. "Go find this object to open this door and then repeat." And then occasionally a guy will pop out of the darkness at you. Then they said they were going to try the fable thing where when you harvest/rescue the little sisters, it will change the storyline. And all then they just give you a few alternate endings.

When Halo first came out you were able to drive vehicles yourself for the first time; you couldn't drive the vehicles yourself in the other FPS games out for consoles. Halo also has multiplayer, which greatly extends the replay value. Even the campaign is interesting enough that I can still pop it in and play it occasionally. Bioshock is like fable, once you play it twice, you're done.

Halo3 is bringing all sorts of new gameplay features, such as video playback. You can record all of your single/multi player games and watch them in any angle you want, take screenshots, or watch it in slow-mo. 4 player online co-op. 'nuff said.
