When you arrive on Columbia in BioShock Infinite, groups are already fighting, killing, and generally making the place a bloody wreck. That's sort of BioShock's thing. But just in case you want a deeper understanding of the political disagreements that led to all-out war, Irrational Games has released a new "Factions at War" trailer.

In it, Ken Levine explains the heady ideals of Columbia and the political turmoil that tore it apart. Plus we get to see plenty of the beautiful steampunk setting, and hear some personality from the protagonist. Check it out below, and read up on our E3 preview for hands-on impressions.

      I don't know about any of you but I'm definitely looking forward to this game. I loved the first two and I know I will love this one.

      The story and atmosphere drew me in for the first two and I like the idea of a floating city in this one. Anything steam-punk is good in my book.

        I think it is safe to assume you are not the only one looking forward to this.

          I stopped looking at and watching anything having to do with this game because I don't want to spoil a second of it. After the first batch of info and images came out.. I was already convinced. This game is going to be amazing. I didn't even watch the video above or read the article... even though it's killing me not to.

            I think I'm gonna do this from now on. It's looking so awesome and I don't want anything else spoiled. I managed to only see 2 screenshots of Portal 2 before I played it and loading it up I felt an excitment I've not felt in years!
