PS3Center writes: It has been roughly five years since the original BioShock was released and the studio behind it (Irrational Games) has been working on BioShock Infinite for about the same amount of time. So it is safe to say that expectations at the arrival of this game have been at an all time high, despite the fact that the sequel to the original game was slightly lackluster.

Push Square: "March was awash with high-profile releases, but few managed to delight us to quite the same degree as Irrational Games stunning BioShock Infinite.

Wired: Do people still have conversations around the water cooler anymore? If so, BioShock Infinite is sure to be a hot topic of discussion wherever nerds still coalesce around beverage dispensers. If you were at all familiar with Ken Levine and Irrational Games 2007 magnum opus BioShock, with its enveloping, fascinating world and its masterfully written characters, you should have expected that BioShock Infinite, the sequel nearly six years in the making, would have delivered another such experience. Days and weeks after finishing it, we cant stop thinking about it. With so many angles to explore, we decided to have a conversation about what we took away from Infinite. I am joined by Wired fellow Jensen Toperzer and contributor John Mix Meyer. Heres our first round of letters, with at least one more to follow. Note: Colossal BioShock Infinite spoilers follow.

GameZone writes, "There's no denying the world that Irrational Games created in BioShock Infinite was beautiful. Visuals aside, the sheer size and detail put into the city of Columbia was breathtaking. From the concept of a floating city to the marvelous building architecture, Columbia has easily carved its spot as one of my favorite video game settings. Of course, to truly be considered a great setting, it must pass one very critical step: the Minecraft test."

Irrational Games really had some work to do when they started developing Bioshock Infinite. When Bioshock was released all the way back in 2007, it was met with critical acclaim across the board. Not only did Bioshock Infinite have to compete with that, but it would try to surpass it. Rapture was one of the most atmospherically perfect settings that exists in the gaming world today. Since Infinite was breaking away from this, they had to create a new world that would instill the same awe and wonderment in the gamer that Rapture did. Irrational had to take everything they had done in their previous game, improve upon it and return it in the best possible state. They really shot for the stars with this one, and they hit it in every way, shape, and form possible.
