The original BioShock wasted no time confronting you with bunny-mask wearing psychopaths to dispatch in the crumbled dystopia of Rapture. BioShock Infinite seems to be taking a different tack, letting you explore the flying city of Columbia in a more peaceful setting for a while.
Did an entire floating city cruise around the skies over America in the 20th century? It hardly seems likely, as it's patently absurd and the plot of BioShock Infinite and all, but publisher 2K Games has put out a new video today exploring just that subject, resembling a documentary from the 1980s. It's perhaps not definitive proof, but when has television ever lied to us?
BioShock Infinite was pushed from February to March 26, but you can still start to get a taste of the story next month. BioShock Infinite: Mind in Revolt is a prequel novel from Irrational writer Joe fielder and creative director Ken Levine, and it will be available on February 12th for $2.99.
The name BioShock Infinite had us scratching our heads upon announcement, but it might just be the most appropriate title for the game. The more series creator Ken Levine talks about it, the more it seems to be about everything. It carries some religious themes along with its other big ideas, but Levine says some of those were "highly altered" after he took some time to talk with religious members of the studio.

With BioShock Infinite's March 26 launch drawing closer, developer Irrational Games has detailed the PC edition's wide range of graphics and control options, along with its system requirements. The BioShock series has suffered from issues like wonky widescreen and missing controller support on PC before, but on paper it sounds like things are shaping up nicely for Infinite.
Many are excited for BioShock Infinite's March 26 release (including our own Jeff and Steve). Continuing its slow marketing drip, developer Irrational Games has released four more screens showing off some of the combat and the environment in Columbia.
After all the folderol surrounding the BioShock Infinite box cover and its "frat boy" appeal, developer Irrational Games held a poll for an alternate cover. The winner was Songbird, with about 38 percent of the vote.
There's a lot to be excited for in 2013, and the Shacknews staff each have five games on their radar. The editorial team at Shacknews outlines their most anticipated games of 2013 individually. Next up, we've got staff writer Steve Watts with his list of next year's titles.

The original BioShock earned critical and fan praise for a host of reasons, including its haunting score. Rapture's underwater dystopia had plenty of licensed old-timey music, but dramatic moments were punctuated by an instrumental score from composer Garry Schyman. So good news, music fans. Irrational creative director Ken Levine has revealed that Schyman has returned to pen the score for the upcoming BioShock Infinite.

Irrational Games has released a trailer of the first five minutes from BioShock Infinite. It's got a few spoilers, and lots of water, so don't watch if you want to wait for the game (or you get seasick easily).
After the first BioShock and now with BioShock Infinite, it's clear that creator Ken Levine is interested in exploring political themes. By setting itself at the turn of the century, Infinite is primed to tackle issues of race, immigration, and the idea of American exceptionalism. As the old saying goes, everyone is a critic, so Levine says the game has gotten criticism from people from all over the political spectrum.
After the BioShock Infinite box art (above) received a notably tepid reception from the gaming community, series creator Ken Levine chipped in with a very frank and honest explanation. Essentially: This cover isn't for you, Mr. Informed Gamer, it's for the frat houses because the game needs to sell. But he promised that the company would release downloadable covers that players could print out on their own. Now, it's actually doing one better.
BioShock Infinite's multiplayer mode has become a casualty of the game development process. But to hear Irrational head Ken Levine describe it, the mode was always a risky "experiment" that serves as an example of how the developer iterates and tosses concepts that don't work or can't be finished.
Based on BioShock Infinite's box art, you'd think it's about some shotgun totin' dude that loves burning American flags or something. Yeah, fight the man!
It's an oddly generic box, one that makes the game seem like "generic shooter 2013" and not the next "Ken Levine joint." Sure, Booker is wearing a dapper tie, but it feels like something is missing in this rather boring cover art.
Apparently, the decision to use such boring art was intentional. Creative director Ken Levine admitted that the cover is meant to appeal to "frathouses and places like that."
