'BioShock Infinite' makes great art from America's racist past and political present | The Verge
The original Half Life was the game that blew my mind growing up, to the point where I bought and will continue to buy its next installments sight unseen. It was revolutionary on a number of levels that I don’t need to rehash here.
But Bioshock is different, and Infinite is no exception. It has great, varied gameplay with plenty of replayability and a fantastic story, though it goes an extra step to incorporate not just art, but cultural and political commentary. I finished Infinite yesterday and think it’s probably Game of the Last Half Decade, maybe even more. I’m starting my second playthrough immediately because there are still some elements of the fighting, world, and especially story that I want to explore. Plus, Jessi wants to see the story play out.
