I don’t always get a lump in my throat at soccer games – but when I do, it’s something else.
To the Empire Supporters Club, the Midnight Riders, the Viking Army, the Rebellion, and the Garden State Ultras: good job, every last one of you. This was an unforgettable thing.
More about the joint supporters’ march in my match report from this weekend.
So Bioshock Infinite came out yesterday.
While I generally try to save all my praise for games until the end of the year, I’m going to make an slight exception for this one to tell you, in the present, that it’s really, really fantastic.
If you’re not already playing it, you should push everything else onto your backlog so you can go play it. (Preferably the PC version, if you can.)
What are you still doing here? Go play it.
Disclaimer: My wife works for Take-Two Interactive, parent company of both the developer (Irrational Games) and the publisher (2K Games) of Bioshock Infinite. This recommendation would still be coming even if she didn’t work for them.
There are few things harder to understand as a kid than having to uproot and move. Getting familiar with a new town, fitting in at a new school, making new friends – these things are hard enough when you’re an adult in control of the situation. As a kid who doesn’t quite yet understand how the world works, it erases nearly everything you knew and forces you to start over.
