Bioshock: Infinite Review

We all knew Bioshock: Infinite was going to be something special. The question was whether it would be a flawed-but-unquestionably-incredible title like the original, or a flawed-but-slightly-lackluster effort like Bioshock 2.

Dead Space 3 keeps horror trappings but actionizes the tone

“Horror protagonist” is usually a life sentence. If you don’t get shuffled off in the last few minutes of your debut feature or job for the villain in the first few of the sequel, you’ll probably get dragged back, again and again, to deal with the latest threat du jour.
