If you've finished BioShock: Infinite (and if you havent, you should get on that immediately), youre probably in mourning for what you've lost when you left the beautiful yet lethal world of Columbia. But fear not: There are some ways to recreate the experiences you shared with Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth. And you dont have to supply enough weapons to arm an entire uprising to do so.

Console Monster - It has been a while since we last set foot in a world of scares and uncertainty, seven years in fact (since the original BioShock). BioShock Infinite is set almost fifty years before the events of Rapture and, as always, it starts with a lighthouse. You play as Booker DeWitt and it is your job to retrieve Elizabeth and pay off a debt to unscrupulous individuals. When ringing the bells at the top of the lighthouse for the first time and you see the red lights blink in the sky with musical sounds - this reminds you of the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind when they communicate with the spacecraft and its visual light show.

***SPOILER ALERT!!***
Shame on me for not playing BioShock Infinite until this past weekend. I can blame the game for releasing on the same week as GDC 2013, but I must admit that I've been caught in a replay of Final Fantasy VII... which in hindsight is serendipitously about the mind filling in the gaps with false memories. Is Cloud Strife simply Booker DeWitt in the multiverse of possibilities? Yes, those are the kind of analytical questions I posed after finishing BioShock Infinite. (My mind goes into mysterious places.)

Game Informer - When I heard Booker DeWitt would always have the lovely and energetic Elizabeth at his side during BioShock Infinite, I was worried. Not because I didn't find Elizabeth magnetic (I did), but whenever you are tasked with escorting a character through danger, that companion can become a burden.

Bring us the girl, wipe away the debt. These few words are the catalyst that set the grand scheme of BioShock Infinite in motion, forcing protagonist Booker DeWitt to travel to the industrious floating city known as Columbia in search of a young woman named Elizabeth. Buried deep in dept within his own gambling addiction and alcoholic stupors, this appears to be Bookers only chance at saving himself from further destruction. But Columbias stark fanaticism and political zeal arent the only issues hell have to deal with, as the mysterious A.D. brand on his right hand marks him as the so-called False Shepherd, sending the whole city into a violent uproar.

Elizabeth is a wonderfully written character whose interaction with protagonist Booker DeWitt forms the core of BioShock Infinites tale and is all the better for it. Shes easy to care about and hard to forget. As far as A.I. partners in games go, Elizabeth is probably the best. But the developers cheated to achieve that.

Bioshock Infinite is a compelling story, fun to enact, in a carefully crafted setting in which you, Booker DeWitt have nothing else to do than bring a girl back, and wipe away a debt.

Words by Jamie Howard Ive never finished the two previous BioShock games, however this wasnt a problem as, much like the Far Cry series, BioShock Infinite has nothing to do with its predecessors (BioShock 1 and 2). This made BioShock Infinite, much easier to jump into as I didnt have to worry about catching up with a story. BioShock Infinite follows the story of protagonist, Booker DeWitt and his mission to retrieve the Lamb of Columbia and future side-kick Elizabeth. Set in the early 1910s, BioShock Infinite takes the player (as DeWitt) to the floating sky-city of Columbia. Hired by mysterious figures, DeWitt is ordered to retrieve a young girl thats been held in a tower high within the cloud-city, to clear him of his debts. As you track down Elizabeth (said young girl), you gradually find out that shes not just any young girl but an extremely powerful tool, in the centre of a civil war raging across Columbia. To complicate matters further, Elizabeths guardian of...
