This man seems beloved by the people of Columbia, but the city is a refuge for racism, elitism, and all the things that the people below (or the “Sodom” below, as Comstock puts it) were finally trying to work their way past. He quickly learns that the city is ran by the “Prophet” Zachary Comstock, a man who values himself and the Founding Fathers of the United States more than God or anyone else. The game opens with Booker being transported by boat to a lighthouse where he finds a message stained in blood and nailed to the door: “Bring us the girl, wipe away the debt.” Booker, after a series of events in the first five minutes too jaw-dropping to spoil, finds himself in Columbia, a city in the sky. You play as Booker Dewitt, a former soldier and Pinkerton agent who is still haunted by his actions at the Battle of Wounded Knee.

Not only have they topped the first game, they’ve crafted what might just be the defining game of the current console generation. Six years later, that development team from Irrational Games, led by the talented Ken Levine, has finally returned with Bioshock Infinite ( Bioshock 2, released in early 2010, was made by a separate team and is more of a spin-off that’s not nearly as highly regarded as the original). After one of the greatest twist endings of all-time, most wondered if the game could ever be topped. An underwater city, run by a madman, was falling apart at the hands of people whom the Plasmids had turned into crazed lunatics. The game’s radical gameplay, featuring a mixture of gunplay and “Plasmid” enhanced abilities (such as shooting lightning bolts, releasing deadly swarms of bees, etc.) wowed many, but the story was what made it an experience more memorable than perhaps any other game ever released.
