Emily: "Earlier this year, Irrational Games brought us Bioshock Infinite, and if youre like me, youre probably still picking up pieces of your brain that were splattered all across your bedroom. The ending of the game, which brought with it a mess of physics, lighthouses, and choking, left a lot of gamers with a sense of loss. Paired with a Season Pass, we could only wonder what was next for the world of Columbia. That all changed when Ken Levine, Creative Director over at Irrational Games, announced the release of 2 new additions to the Bioshock family: Clash in the Clouds and Burial at Sea. With all the hype surrounding Burial at Seas return to Rapture, Clash in the Clouds was almost swept aside, and it was released without so much as a whisper. But hear ye, hear ye! I am here to announce that I have conquered Columbia yet again."
