It’s Bioshock Infinite – The board game!

So, everyone loves Bioshock Infinite to the point where it could eat a baby in front of you, and you’d still praise it. It’s a damn good game overall, even if it isn’t my personal GOTY, and of course, it has some merch lined up. So throw on a snappy Songbird Hoodie and get hammered on the official Vigour absinthe, because there’s a board game on the way!

Designed by Plaid Hat Games, Bioshock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia takes players back to the quantum floating city of the past, and puts them in the middle of the events that saw Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth travelling through the ruined city.

It’s two teams of one or two players against one another according to Destructoid, as players take turns to either battle it out as the founders of Columbia, or slap on some face paint on as the Vox Populi

The game comes with detailed figures that includes Songbird, zeppelins and handymen, amongst others. The first rulebook for the game is going online soon, and a pre-order of $60 nets you the Monopoly-killer in two to five months time.

This should hopefully tide those of you over who rushed through the game. So shut up about that ending, all right? I still need to finish the game myself.

      Yeah, I think we can accept the rumour of “always online” for the nextbox. Pretty stupid move on Microsoft’s part, but hey… even this “feature” will have it’s die-hard supporters.

        Although, reading through the twitterfeed, I think the Microsoft sockpuppet’s account got hacked. He made some pretty obnoxious and ignorant troll-like comments – which wouldn’t fit with his role as Creative Director…

        Or maybe the guy’s just a dick… and you don’t become Creative Director by being a “nice guy”

          I think its real and the roles have reversed. Microsoft are going to be the arrogant shit heads in gen 8… because they can.

          All they want is for you to hook up your Big Brother Mandatory Kinect 2 with your smart glass Surface Tablet

          Forget fucking videogames, they want your living room.

            It’s like bizarro world, but I have to admit though, even before the “always online” rumour, I had already decided not to get a nextbox. They sure changed my mind… (sarcastic banana). hehehehe

      Yeah, woo, if that is true then it might be one of the biggest mistakes in console history.

      But what prevents Sony from “switching on” a feature like this down the line. I still haven’t forgotten them removing backward compatibility on some consoles using the updates.

            I reckon it’s all Darryn, he wants to hit at least 200 comments today, so that he can claim Batman of the week.

      lol, I’m sorry I just spotted this hilarious exchange on Kotaku (which kind of sums it all up):

    I can’t remember when last I played a board game. If there was one involved in some sort of drinking game… that would explain why I don’t remember 😛
