BioShock Infinite springs open a whole other world, with political corruption, brutal powers, travelling through the sky and not forgetting a mechanical George Washington! If that alone doesn’t sell it to you, then you better keep reading… When looking at BioShock Infinite it’s easy to see that Bioshock has changed and we will no longer be in Rapture. The world is different; it’s more open, more colourful, more vibrant and alive. During our demo session, we started to sail towards a light house. Sound familiar? However, this lighthouse had something even more mysterious about it. As we climbed the stairs and reached the top, we took a moment to look around and take in our surroundings. Suddenly, a red mist over the ocean crept up on us as we banged on some bells to open a door. This is where the real adventure begun! We sat in this peculiar looking chair, and headed off to the sky.
Twinfinite: “War may never change, but the prices of rare games do!”
"And lastly, famous Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling helped to create the action-RPG’s setting. What’s really fascinating, though, is that the game was partially financed by taxpayers from Rhode Island (which allegedly lost the state millions of dollars). Yikes!"
1. Now infamous Schilling
2. No allegedly, it did. And they couldn't pay it back.
3. What really lost the money wasn't the SP release but the MMO they were working on. This was supposed to be an introduction into the MMO world.
I hate counting limited editions for these lists. I mean, they're made to be rare and expensive. It's far more interesting to hear about the NCAAs (even if most people know that one already) and the El Chavos than some massive hit that came with a $200 statue at retail.
Me too. Here's the best I can do:
El Chavo Kart $90.14
NCAA Football 14 $87.72
Spiderman: Edge of Time $75.94
Spiderman Web of Shadows $75.09
Spiderman: Shattered Dimensions $67.76
Wow, El Chavo Kart is not at all what I expected by the name. 100% looks like a Sackboy Kart game.
It's so odd that so many Spider-Man games are seemingly given lower print runs, even if they're not the best games.
Most Xbox games don’t hold as much value compared to other systems. Kameo, Blue Dragon, Last Remnant , and a handful or 2 of other games that I kept.
One of the biggest TV and movie tropes in the last decade has been the multiverse, the idea of exploring multiple dimensions to uncover alternate versions of existing ideas. From both a business and creative perspective, it makes sense why established franchises are shaking things up in this way.
However, there aren't many video games latching on to this trend, as rendering multiple worlds in real-time is a difficult feat and the medium is relatively young in comparison to its contemporaries, making crossover opportunities more difficult. Still, there are a few great titles that manage enough to overcome these challenges, and here are some of the best examples.
While I love someone mentioning Planescape, not really multiverse. Planes and dimensions, yes. But, they are typically their own locations and are very rarely tied to another 'verse' let alone another plane. The only things that are directly tied are the ethereal and material planes. Otherwise, they are dimensions created of their own design and goals by the creator/owner and not comprised of 'their own version of another dimension'.
See what a side-by-side comparison of Clockwork Revolution vs Bioshock Infinite looks like.
The week of the 24th to the 31st is shaping up to be the best week I have had in a long time. First, on Monday night the spiritual successor to my all time favorite game releases. I never but collector's editions, but this time i did. I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays off which will giveme time to delve into the world of Bioshock Infinite. Everything I have read and seen about this game simply looks stunning. IMO, no one creates a better all around game than Irrational. Its is simply...perfect and i expect nothing short of sheer bliss and wonder when making my first trip to Columbia.
Then, just a few days later begins the 3rd season of one of my all time favorite TV shows, Game of Thrones. I have had to force myself not to buy the books so that i could remain clueless and hopeful when watching the show that has utterly captivated me thus far. I have read the first book and will continue staying just short of its counterpart.
So, i count down three weeks from last night til that glorious week is upon me. Now, i jus have to determine whether i do it as Lara Croft or Kratos. I am leaning Kratos simply because i may not have time to finish Tomb Raider. With Ascension, i can finish the sp and come back to mp layer. Because no matter what i am doing at midnight on the 26th, Bioshock Infinite will take precedence over all else.
