…and Another Thing
Bioshock Infinite’s greatest success is that it delivers a story in a way no other artistic medium can.
Video games are an emerging art form. The list of titles that fully utilize the interactive story telling aspects of games, combine it with visual art, and all the boons of a good soundtrack are very few.
Bioshock Infinite is a game you can point at when people ask what you mean by “games as art.” Shadow of the Colossus need not be so lonely now.
I may have my gripes with the ending but do not mistake me for calling Bioshock Infinite a bad game. Quite the contrary.
