figured id make this in case people want to see what the game is getting from other outlets as unless Jeff dived right back into game over the weekend, the review might be late. (and its probably gonna be a 4 out of 5 or a 5 out of 5 in any case :P)
heres some choice quotes.
Game InformerMar 25, 2013 100
Infinite is more than a new setting, story, and characters; those elements are seamlessly integrated with complex themes, a mysterious plot, and entertaining combat to create an amazing experience from beginning to end. Familiar threads run through it – a lighthouse, a strange city, a charismatic antagonist – but they are homages to the past rather than attempts to recycle it. The core of Infinite is unlike anything else on land, sea, or air
GameSpotMar 25, 2013 90 You'll be haunted by this thematically devastating adventure, and indeed, its phenomenal final minutes, which are bound to be discussed and dissected for some time to come.
IGN ItaliaMar 25, 2013 95 When scaled down to the core mechanics of the game, Bioshock Infinite is a somewhat predictable (even if largely enjoyable) game. But its preciousness lays elsewhere, within the cloudy streets of Columbia, inside the mechanical heart of the Songbird, beyond those sad blue eyes that Elizabeth always keeps wide open. A testament to what Irrational Games and the videogame industry as a whole can achieve.
EGMMar 25, 2013 100 To the casual observer, BioShock Infinite may look like just another game starring a scowling, testosterone-infused hero cocking a shotgun at onrushing enemy hordes. But just like Irrational’s 2007 trip through an undersea Objectivist paradise gone mad, this is far more than a simple first-person shooter; the experience will make players think, inspire them to explore, and leave them emotionally spent by the time it’s all over. With BioShock Infinite, Ken Levine cements his status as one of gaming’s elite creative minds.
Adam Sessler also called this game one of the best creative feats he has ever experienced. and gave it the first 5 out of 5 at revision 3 games, with no dislikes.
So goddammed hyped to play this game,
