My love of the original BioShock is unwavering. Irrational's previous foray into a dystopian society explored the ways in which the foundation of civilization crumbles when everyone has only their own desires in mind. The powerful themes resonated through...

How do you critique a dream? It's the problem we face in reviewing Irrational Games's BioShock Infinite , a game that straddles the gap between an adventure title and a first-person shooter.The visuals within BioShock Infinite can be awe-inspiring.That's...
Excellent pacing, wonderful character development, a story you'll spend hours talking about, barbershop quartet.
Combat can feel a bit uninspired if not downright easy (save for the game's final mission), linear...

If you put much stock in Metacritic, Bioshock Infinite is the best (or at least best-reviewed ) PC game of 2013 so far. Set in Columbia, a sprawling steampunk metropolis floating in the clouds, it's at once a beautiful achievement in world-building; a mov...
Captivating world, story, and characters. Plenty of fun, bloody combat balanced by exploration, conversation, and obsessive scrounging. Runs well on lowerend Macs. Elizabeth is one of the most endearing computercontrolled sidekicks ever.
Combat isn't as satisfying or as versatile as in previous Bioshocks. No native support for nonconsole gamepads...

BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter video game, and the third installment in the popular BioShock series. The campaign lasts anywhere from 12 to 15 hours, with plenty of items and side areas to explore and scour. We follow the story of Booker DeWi...
Overall, Irrational Games had a choice to make when designing BioShock Infinite. Irrational Games took Unreal Engine 3 and set about a team dedicated to tweaking the engine for the PC. Irrational Games took this older engine and redesigned the lighting sy...

I hate it when I'm supposed to be reviewing a game and it makes me cry at the end (both that it's over and just, well, generally). I completely forget any issues I had while playing and it makes me want to slap the highest award I can give on it. It's cal...
When a game inspires debate, conjecture, sleepless nights, floods of emotion, and the desperate desire to play it all the way through again immediately after watching all of the sizeable end credits you know you've got something special. Bioshock Infinite...

We're not going to beat around the bush, here. BioShock Infinite is game-of-the-year material. The floating city of Columbia is one of the most evocative, intense, gorgeous environments I've ever seen -- but how much you like it may depend on what sort...
Best storyline we've played in years, Elizabeth's design, animation, Aerial combat, unique visual design...
Annoying audio bug...
The most frustrating part of this review is there's so much I can't tell you. Still video doesn't capture how much fun the game is. It certainly doesn't show you the scope of the story, the ties to Rapture, or why Elizabeth tells Booker that there's alway...

There was much gushing praise written before, and on the day of, the Bioshock Infinite release. The praise went as far as to call it an instant classic and one of the best games ever. I beg to differ. While the game is good, it is certainly not as grou...

BioShock Infinite is an unfulfilling action game with a layered story, brilliant art design and adequate shooting mechanics. It is the third game in an exceptional series known for atmosphere and narrative. Infinite dares to move the franchise away from t...
Infinite is a decent shooter that derives its action from the foundations of the series. The gameplay doesn't always make great use of new mechanics. Elizabeth is not believable enough and the city of Columbia is wasted potential outside the brilliant in...

Where to begin with this game; I'm at a loss for words. When the original BioShock graced our screens all those years ago, reviewers and critics fell in love immediately. It would seem that history is repeating itself, as we have before us another masterp...

After two games in the sea, Ken Levin and Irrational Games is taking to the Bioshock franchise to the skies with their latest game, BioShock Infinite. I've been anticipating this game after seeing it at E3 a few years ago and after a few delays, it's fina...

Not since the holiday season has there been a title that's sent gamers into a frenzy like BioShock Infinite has. Originally announced back in 2010, the third entry in the popular FPS series has had everyone patiently waiting for over three years, with 2K...
Was BioShock Infinite worth the wait? Absolutely. Lead designer Ken Levine has done an outstanding job with the title. Visuals are stunning and the gameplay is remarkable. FPS fans might question the developer's logic of passing on multiplayer, but the ga...

First off, let me say that I don't buy brand new PC games very often. I buy them even less often on release day, and even rarer is the occasion when I find myself actually sitting at the computer watching the clock for the official release time so the gam...

If you aren’t aware of the fact that I simply adore the original BioShock, then you probably don’t know me very well. It was a brilliantly written game that poked at our brains, giving us a smorgasbord of philosophical and political questions to muse o...

We all want a clean slate. Everyone has past misdeeds, large or small, that we wish could be wiped clean with one broad stroke. It's no different for Booker DeWitt, the hero of BioShock Infinite . His troubled past as a soldier who fought in the Battle of...

After finishing up the new Bioshock Infinite from Irrational Games, I am left in a state of reflection over what an amazing experience it was. The game starts in a very similar fashion to the original Bioshock: You are heading towards a lighthouse. This t...
