I was originally planning on posting three games (all against the same player) today but as time beckons I can't post them all – this is the game I consider the best of the three (I lost the second one in the endgame and won the third, perhaps I'll post them later for analysis). Advice/comments appreciated!

Doesn't 7.Bxg8 .: Qd5 win immediately?

Looks more like a piece to me.
More like a piece. You can't guard g8 and c5, so Black would have to sacrifice on f2, but White stays in charge:

What's that move supposed to do? If anything, it gives White more options since after 8.Kxf2 Rxg8 I'm not obligated to play Qd5, I could choose another move like Rf1 or Qh5+. Unless you want to try 8...Qh4+ 9.g3 and grant me an additional piece.
Doesn't black have some compensation for his sacked bishop since white's king is out in the open and black has control of the f file? Even with white's queen in the center?

No.
White has central control, a well-placed queen, a developed piece (that bishop on c1 IS technically developed, since it controls many important squares on the c1-h6 diagonal) and Black has his own problems with his king's placement and the undeveloped queenside. His only chance might be playing 10...a5 (with something like ...Ra6-g6+ in mind) but white can defend by simply gobbling more material (11.Qxe4 Ra6 12.Qxh7 Qe7 13 Qh5+ and Black's king has no good square). Black is completely lost.
