As a review, this is all you really need to know: Bioshock Infinite by Irrational Games is very good and it is worth your time as a gamer, so go play it as soon as you can. Yes, even if you are not the type of gamer that likes First Person Shooters this game is worth playing so give it a try.

Set in an alternate history version of America during the early years of the 20th century you play as badass for hire named Booker Dewitt. He’s an ex-Pinkerton agent (think of them as the 1900’s version of the FBI) as well as war veteran with top honors and he’s also run-up something of a very large gambling debt.

But this isn’t just some ordinary city – it’s a flying/floating city named Columbia (yeah, remember that alternate history part), and the woman – well she isn’t very ordinary either. Continue reading
