Winner: Bioshock Infinite

Before the recent trailer, fears were brewing for the livelihood of Bioshock Infinite, with Irrational being hit with a spate of staff departures, not to mention an absence from gamescom and E3 2012. Probably our pick for One to Watch purely as out of the 2013-and-beyond releases, it feels the most tangible. Pish posh, what on earth were we worried about? If it’s not precisely the sequel Bioshock deserves then I will, on record, eat my own shoes.
