Irrational Games and Ken Levine, whose last great game came in 2007 (#shotsfired), has announced that they’ve rebranded themselves as Ghost Story Games. Here’s hoping they churn out something less turd-soaked than BioShock Infinite. An occasionally fun, deeply pretentious, mess of a game.

After BioShock Infinite, Ken Levine announced that he was taking his talents (and his studio) in a different direction. And while it’s probably too early to judge, I’m going to anyways! Levine’s company is hiring for a “narrative first-person shooter”, which. You know. Sounds a lot like BioShock. IDFK?

Ken Levine (creator of BioShock, uncomfortably smug human) and his squad at Irrational Games continue to hire for their scaled-down mystery project. Here is hoping it’s more BioShock and less BioShock: Infinity War.

Earlier this summer, the Head Czar of  Take-Two stated that there was a future for both the BioShock and Red Dead franchises. So it shouldn’t be that surprising that we are hearing that 2K is teasing something related to the former franchise. However, what is a bit unexpected is how close the tease is to the aforementioned statements. What exactly is 2K teasing? Who knows. But if I had to bet – given that they just confirmed the series is alive – it’s a “hey don’t forget about us while we work on a new installment” remaster of the original game(s).

HA! HAHAHA! Get it? Using a BioShock reference to herald the demise of its creator? Yeah man. Next level douche-swagger up in hurr, up in hurr. Middle fingers in the air, not caring. Cause I’m secretly in mourning. But not really. I think this could be a good thing.

I…I still don’t know what the fuck happened in BioShock Infinite, let alone the first episode of Burial At Sea. Oh for the love of Christ put down the pie charts, the Excel spreadsheets, and your timeline. If you need to resort to that nonsense, the plot is fucked. Anyways, even with that said I’m opening up my fanboy gaping maw for Burial At Sea’s second episode. Why? Cause I’m a sucker. But most importantly? I bought the season pass ahead of time like an asshole.

I can’t tell if this is the greatest thing ever, or fanboy fan service of the inexcusable kind. The war between the tingling parts of my mind, and the “there something just not right” parts are throwing atomic elbows at one another as I type this.

Eh.

Who am I kidding.

I’m fucking stoked.

It’s eerie to waltz around a world I’ve seen in trailers on and off since 2011. Eerie and awe-inspiring. Columbia is another City 17; avid gamers will hopefully feel happy to hear me draw the comparison.

There’s been so much said about the game, both from two years’ worth of previews and advance (groan) exclusive reviews over the past week. I won’t waste your time with fluff; here are some (spoiler-free) thoughts from my five-hour foray into Columbia so far.

Now that I have finally expunged Dead Space 3 from my gaming gape, it is time for me to look forward to BioShock Infinite. Hopefully it’ll be everything that I hoped it will be. I cannot handle another gaming disappointment so soon, especially from a game that I have been anticipating for so long. One of the reasons my wait has apparently drawn on so interminably, however, is because the game itself has been generating massive amounts of content.

I’m not watching this. However, I’m presenting you with the opportunity. Do you dare to spoil?
