Bioshock Infinite is a first-person shooter that was developed by Irrational Games and published by 2K Games for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Blizzard Entertainment is starting to set a trend with its franchises, reviving old (but popular) games like Starcraft and Diablo II. Starcraft II was a hit less so because it does anything groundbreaking, but takes a proven formula and improves it in every way. Now, after years of waiting, Diablo III is here. Will Blizzard [...]
Few game series have had such an incredible impact on the gaming industry as Bioware’s Mass Effect series. The unique blend of third-person shooter action, RPG elements, and interactive storytelling is unlike anything we’ve seen this generation. The second game in the series, Mass Effect 2, refined on the first’s rough-around-the-edges gameplay elements to promote [...]
