Giant Bomb's E3 2011 Game of the Show

We've made a choice!

It didn't take much discussion, so I'll keep it short. We've compared notes and decided to name BioShock Infinite as our Game of the Show for E3 2011. I'm sure you've already heard us talking about the game in various articles and podcasts, so I'll spare you the flowery language and instead point you to the interview we conducted with Irrational's Ken Levine during the show last week. It was probably one of my favorite moments of the show, and I'm not just saying that because it allowed me to sit down for a full half-hour.

BioShock Infinite showed extremely well during E3 last week and we're going to sit here and patiently wait for its final release sometime in 2012. Let's hope the final product turns out as well as the gameplay demo being shown behind closed doors at the 2K booth did. I hope that the full demo is eventually released for public consumption, as it really sets up a lot of interesting things about Columbia, its various factions, and some of the major players you'll encounter as you play.

Also, a quick programming note: We'll each be talking about some of the games that stood out to us at E3 over the course of this week, so watch out for that!
