Bioshock Infinite

Bioshock Infinite

Bioshock Infinite is a game that tries to be emotional and complex. The spiritual follow-up to the massively acclaimed 2007 predecessor, Bioshock Infinite is like nothing you’ve ever seen. The basic gameplay of guns and special powers is augmented by some of the best storytelling in gaming.

Bioshock Infinite is a game focused on America. As an American, I can safely say that there are a great many things wrong with our country’s politics. Infinite takes aim right at those flaws with a complex story exploring the fate of a fantastic floating city. What is meant to be the pinnacle of American power quickly degenerates into sectarian warfare and bloodshed. Into that situation the player is thrust.

If that sounds intriguing (and it should), look for Bioshock Infinite in 2012. While it is focused on America’s flaws, the politics behind those flaws are universal. It should appeal to everyone, no matter where you call home.
