Box Art Review: The Troubling Hypocrisy of Bioshock Infinite

Added: 09.03.2014 14:15 | 4 views | 0 comments


Kill Screen Daily: Year in and year out, men, and typically white men, dominate the narratives of the best selling videogames. Looking at the games that have been critically and financially successful over the past few years, theres no shortage of brooding, heroic and flawed male leads: The Uncharted franchise. GTA V. Every single exhausting iteration of Call of Duty. The Last of Us. Assassins Creed. The lone exception might be the Tomb Raider reboot from 2013, but that game doesnt exactly boast progressive gender perspectives. This quality is not, of course, unique to videogames. All forms of media struggle with proper representation, including movies, TV shows and novels all predominantly crafted around straight white people. Few videogame covers have captured the whitewashed, testosterone-driven media landscape the way the box art for BioShock Infinite has.

Vertiginous Golf takes minigolf into the sky with steampunk trimmings

Added: 09.03.2014 8:15 | 8 views | 0 comments


Vertiginous Golf is kind of like a mishmash of Bioshock Infinite and Putt-Putt. The surreal 2004 Shockwave game VertiGolf drained many hours of my teenage life. Now the team at Surprise Attack has taken the browser-based floaty island golfer and blown it up into a fully fledged sequel. With pipes, gates, jets and magic carpets, you might mistake the course in Vertiginous Golf for a gigantic steampunk Rube Goldberg machine. And partly, it is. This isnt your normal round of golf. Accompanied by a mechanical hummingbird, youre handling a gigantic ornate golden golf club. You wield the power to rewind time, hook and fade your ball and leave a brightly colored stream behind its path of trajectory.

Sequel Showdown: Bioshock vs. Bioshock Infinite

Added: 02.03.2014 21:15 | 11 views | 0 comments


The industry is still reeling from the recent announcement that Irrational Games will cease to exist as we now know them. The majority of the staff has been let go, and the few that remain will join Ken Levine's new team with a focus on small narrative driven games. Over the past 15 plus years the studio has produced numerous critically acclaimed games and was recognized among the industry's best at creating amazingly realized game worlds and compelling storylines. With games like System Shock 2, Freedom Force, and SWAT 4 on the studio's resume, many people have different opinions about which is their favorite Irrational game, but few would argue the defining Irrational developed titles are without a doubt Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. Let's break these two games down and determine which is Irrational's finest Bioshock game, and perhaps the studio's crowning achievement.

OnlySP: Okay so technically Bioshock isnt going anywhere, but in the longer run that might not be the case due to recent events.
