About two weeks ago Irrational Games revealed the box art for the upcoming Bioshock Infinite. This reveal didn't go over too well, with a lot of people disliking the box art. This week Ken Levine and Irrational Games are giving gamers the option to choose an alternate cover for the game; turning the original into a reversible cover (a la Mass Effect 3). Head over HERE to cast you vote for said alternate cover. Personally I like Designs #2, #4 and #6 but that's just me. What say you, what's your pick for the alternate box art?

Last week Irrational Games released the new box art for Bioshock Infinite coming next year. The box art shows main character Booker DeWitt looking all bad-ass, shotgun in hand and the flag burning in the background. It's impressive many would say. I however don't really fancy it. The lack of Elizabeth on the cover next to DeWitt or anywhere (on the front) doesn't do it for me. Yes you'll be playing as Booker but Elizabeth is also a key part of the game, it would have been nice to see her upfront and center. But that's just me, others think it's OK while others share a similar opinion to mine.  Elizabeth is however on the back of the box but that's the back of the box. Seriously, how often do you look at the back of a game box after you've purchased it. Most likely you only do the initial glance the moment you get it in your hands and then never look back there again.

I hope this new Bioshock Infinite trailer does it for you because it surely did for me. Media and news on Ken Levine's latest venture has been non-existent for the past few months until the announcement of the Collector's Editions last week and now this trailer. So I present to you Bioshock Infinite Beast Of America.

Irrational Games has announced today that the next BioShock game, BioShock Infinite, will be released on October 16, 2012. The game no longer takes place in Rapture and introduces a new location, new characters, gameplay and a brilliant story. According to Ken Levine, BioShock Infinite aims to dwarf the original in both scope and ambition. BioShock Infinite is one of the highly anticipated games of 2012 and for good reason, its release cannot come soon enough.
