Unveiled in late 2010, BioShock Infinite quickly reached the top of the most anticipated games list. This time however the setting of the game has changed. You are no longer in the underwater city of Rapture as in previous games. Instead, you take to the skies in the floating city of Columbia. The lead protagonist too has changed. You don the role of Booker DeWitt. Put simply, BioShock Infinite is an ambitious game.

As always, defiance is at the heart of the matter, with the trait being the reason for Marcus’s incarceration and Baird’s (along with his entire squad’s) persecution. Gears of War: Judgment, as a new trilogy has a lot to live up to, as the original trilogy casts a pretty damn big shadow. So, how does the new game fare?
