BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter currently in development at Irrational Games, the studio behind the original BioShock (which sold over 4 million units worldwide). Set in 1912, BioShock Infinite introduces an entirely new narrative and gameplay experience that lifts players out of the familiar confines of Rapture and rockets them to Columbia, an immense city in the sky.

Former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt has been sent to rescue Elizabeth, a young woman imprisoned in Columbia since childhood. Booker develops a relationship with Elizabeth, augmenting his abilities with hers so the pair may escape from a city that is literally falling from the sky. DeWitt must learn to fight foes in high-speed Sky-Line battles, engage in combat both indoors and amongst the clouds, and harness the power of dozens of new weapons and abilities.

The sole survivor of an oceanic plane crash, you swim to a lighthouse. Inside you discover a bathysphere and descend to the seafloor where arch-capitalist Andrew Ryan’s city sits.

Economic liberalism spurred its leading citizens to innovate in the name of prestige and profit; the gene-altering drug ADAM granted them unbelievable abilities and then drove them mad. Saving your skin could cost you your humanity; returning to the surface means delving deeper into the city of Rapture’s sordid history.

The rules of engagement are strict: Lethal force isn’t authorized unless a suspect shoots first or points a firearm at a fellow officer or civilian. Less-lethal weapons including pepper spray, bean bag shotguns, and Tasers aren’t always options, though – not when a suspected serial killer retreats into a horrific murder room in the basement of his suburban home. And Instant Action mode’s replayable random mission generation means that the killer could have an accomplice….

Shuffling scenes from the past and present, Vengeance’s single-player tale is told kaleidoscopically from several characters’ points of view. In addition, the offline campaign trains newcomers in the nuanced maneuvering and new, grappling hook-enhanced grandstanding that they must master in order to shine in the first-person shooter’s six multiplayer modes.
