BioShock Infinite is a first-person shooter like you've never seen. Just ask the judges from E3 2011, where the Irrational Games title won more than 75 editorial awards, including Game Critics Award's Best of Show.Set in 1912, players assume the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, sent to the flying city of Columbia on a rescue mission. His target? Elizabeth, imprisoned since childhood. During their daring escape, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond ~ one that lets Booker augment his own abilities with her world-altering control over the environment. Together, they fight from high-speed Sky-Lines, in the streets and houses of Columbia, on giant zeppelins and in the clouds, all while learning to harness an expanding arsenal of weapons and abilities and immersing players in a story that is not only steeped in profound thrills and surprises, but also invests its characters with what IGN called "emotional ties (that) will continue to set the bar in gaming."

Too violent for children, but the story line is great. Graphics are awesome and game play is fairly fast while being highly entertaining. Not sure about the multiplayer part, just not my thing.

What's great about it: Everything! Graphics, story, style and the Vigors!
What's not so great: Guess it was too engaging as the solo campain seems to go by fairly quickly, at least it seemed short to me.

Totally understand why this was game of the year. Very realistic and challenging while not being impossible to beat. And now that price has finally dropped, it's worth every penny spent. If you like shooters at all, this is one of the best. I also enjoyed the sequel just as much.
What's great about it: Graphics are incredible! Very realistic and detailed.
What's not so great: Haven't found that item yet...
