Booker Only Wants To Pay Off His Debts In This New ‘BioShock Infinite’ Trailer
I can’t wait for BioShock Infinite. As an avid fan of the series — even the second game, which was great even if it wasn’t necessary — I can’t wait to see what Levine and friends do with this one. It looks intense, gorgeous, and I’m sure there will be plot twists aplenty. Irrational recently unveiled a bit more gameplay, this time focusing on lead character and gambling man Booker DeWitt. Check it out after the break.
I think my favorite part of that trailer may be when Booker takes a swig from a bottle of whatever the fuck, then gets all surprised when his hands start melting. Don’t drink, kids.
BioShock Infinite takes to the sky on March 26 for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
