About BioShock Infinite
From the creators of the highest-rated first-person shooter of all time**, BioShock, BioShock Infinite puts players in the shoes of U.S. Cavalry veteran turned hired gun, Booker DeWitt. Indebted to the wrong people and with his life on the line, DeWitt has only one opportunity to wipe his slate clean. He must rescue Elizabeth, a mysterious girl imprisoned since childhood and locked up in the flying city of Columbia. Forced to trust one another, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond during their daring escape. Together, they learn to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities, as they fight on zeppelins in the clouds, along high-speed Sky-Lines, and down in the streets of Columbia, all while surviving the threats of the air-city and uncovering its dark secret.
**Based on Metacritic average ranking across available platforms.

Amazing , Cannot wait! 😀 😀
question tho: has her pinky grown back or is it just an oversight?
doka | February 5, 2014 8:44 am
She has no finger on her right hand.
andrewu | February 5, 2014 8:56 am
its on the trigger
megascience | February 5, 2014 9:03 am
That Season Pass link at the top might need a little adjustment. 😛 Otherwise, awesome!
madrocks77 | February 5, 2014 9:09 am
When I bought the season pass before the month I’ll have there burial at sea episode 2?
budonasty | February 5, 2014 10:06 am
Sweet!! I had a feeling that episode 2 would release on March 25th, the last possible day set for the season pass. This is a good sign. It means that Irrational will be spending as much time as humanly possible to deliver the best quality DLC possible. I cannot wait! 🙂
epifire | February 5, 2014 2:35 pm
The Irony in the fact it’s releasing on March 25th is that it ships the same day that the game released on. So profound.
stuntman5 | February 5, 2014 2:41 pm
Awesome, even though i havent played either of them. But, its the thought that counts. XD
joshimarston | February 5, 2014 5:05 pm
So awesome. SO AWESOME. I need a time machine, i want to play episode 2 now, NOW. Ken Levine, Irrational Games.. that’s the future of the videogame, I’m sure of this.

In the post, there’s a new introduction to main game -“Former veteran turned hired gun” …
Didn’t think to hear from the release date so soon. I hope there will be the “part 1 of fact from myth” (since they released part 2 already), an interview and another launch trailer. Can’t wait~

Nobody commenting on the sweet pistol/crossbow hybrid Elizabeth’s got? From the looks of it, it might immobilize enemies or simply knock them out instead of killing them… but I wouldn’t have any complaints if it is similar to the crossbow from the original BioShock, that marvel was a very satisfying one-hit kill. Always nice having a splicer take a bolt to the face and do a bloody back-flip. Good times, good times… 😀

Early waiting for the Bioshock Infinite Season two as the earlier season was quite interesting.
