That was a wise decision. Anyone know when the first DLC is supposed to hit?

Probably not for awhile.

Oh shit, you're definitely someone I'd like to talk to about the story. Avoid any and all discussion of it until you've completed it.
Yeah I've basically been on a media blackout, it's killing me.

I don't think there's much info about the Steam Box yet. I'd be super interested in it if it's at a reasonable price. That "piston" thing that was announced a few weeks ago would be neat if it wasn't so damn expensive.

Guys, I beat Bioshock Infinite this morning. Gaming will never be the same. The bar has just been raised.

Bioshock Infinite for PC is sitting on a 96/100 metascore, the same as Half-Life. :worthy:

Bought the season pass, had to go back to the beginning to get my five additional infusions.

So you get a gun upgrade with that season pass? Is that something that makes the guns noticeably better?

Upgrades for the pistol and machine gun are pretty useful but the real value is in the five additional infusions.

I think you also get the gear that electrocutes anyone you melee 70% of the time. That thing is kind of overpowered.

It is a post-apocalyptic survival game where you play as a man trying to escort a teenager 15-20 years or so after a plague. It is made by the developers of the Uncharted series. You can check out a cool gameplay video here...

That game is one of the reasons I'm getting a PS3 and not an XBox.

Yeah, it's going to be great.

Beyond: Two Souls will also be very good I'm sure. Heavy Rain is one of my favorite games of the generation.

That is something that many times dictates if I buy a game or not. I cannot stand them.

Depends on the context. It worked in Icco, but doesn't in others.

I like Bioshock: Infinite's concept of "escort" where they serve a purpose (tossing you extra clips, powerups ,health) and don't die.
