BioShock Infinite impressed the hell out of us at E3, even with our increasinly high expectations. One aspect of the game we find particularly exciting is the conflict happening around protagonist Booker DeWitt as he escorts Elizabeth off the soaring city of Columbia. Unlike the already ruined Rapture from BioShock, the civil war between Columbia’s leader and his rebel opponents is just getting warmed up.

This trailer also highlights another facet of Infinite that piques our interest: the interactivity with these riled up crowds. BioShock was filled with interesting characters, but nine times out of ten they were kept safely behind glass as you helplessly watched something horrible happen to them.

The possibilities seem limitless, and in spite of the overabundance of first person shooters, games like Infinite prove there are still fresh directions for the field to take.
