Infinite. that is really attracting to me. Because i know irrational doesn't just name there games because it sounds cool. What could Infinite apply to you think? 

In this case though I think the title is in large part a decision brought on by 2K Games, the only real reason this game is named Bioshock is for the brand recognition in the wider market. You can't call it Bioshock 3 without creating an expectation based on Bioshock 1 & 2, so infinite sounds like as good a way as any to suggest the game is a sequel but toally better than a Bioshock 2 or 3, because it's not a number, dog, it's infinite! Similar gameplay elements and themes help justify the title, but at the end of the day those things could be carried forth into a game with a completely different label. Not that I'm complaining, of course, the game is sounding amazing and I daresay labelling it Bioshock has granted Irrational plenty of leeway with 2K. 
 
Anyway, I wouldn't think too much on it but if I had to guess I'd say maybe it's something to do with Elizabeth's abilities, perhaps the idea of "infinite" possibilities.

Found it
 

While the folks at Valve are unlikely to grant you your greatest of wishes in playable form, one of the studio's artists, Tristan Reidford, whipped up a completely amazing '70s-style movie poster featuring the game's various characters. While your immediate reaction might just be to make it your desktop background, you can actually do yourself one better and put it on your real life, non-computerized wall, as the poster will be going on sale in the Steam store in a couple of weeks.

I should really pay more attention.

Sounds like a pretty good union, I've enjoyed the charm to Hothead's games and that factor should be really bolstered by the sort of material on offer in Hitchhiker's Guide. That said, I expect the gameplay itself will be rather forgettable given Hothead's track record.

Wasn't aware that it was going to wind up going up for sale, I thought it was just an excellent piece of fanart.

Goddamn that random video button is dangerous, I could see myself losing way too much time to just watching video after video. Great way to expose the wealth of content I haven't yet watched having only become a regular visitor in the last 12 months.

Kind of stopped bothering to read at the first sign of all-caps.

While games like The Witcher 2 and Battlefield 3 are setting some high standards for visuals right now I honestly don't feel like I need a new crop of systems. I'm still happy with how the majority of games look and perform on the 360 and PS3 and until PC games start doing new, exciting things beyond visuals that 360 and PS3 games can't do I won't really be yearning for a new system. Well, either that or around the end of 2013, I'd say, whichever comes first.

I would have thought the expectation of a Starfox game would have had much to do with the typical disdain for the game considering I'm sure most were aware at the time that the game wasn't even a Starfox game until Nintendo decided to insert the Starfox brand.
