If you were as thrilled as I was to learn about the upcoming Bioshock “prequel/sequel/game set in the same universe at a different place and time” title Bioshock: Infinite, then these 10 minutes of ridiculously engrossing gameplay from the upcoming title should thrill you. I seriously watched and had no idea t hat 10 minutes had passed. That’s how good even the gameplay seems to be.

I know, a number of people in the YouTube comments and on the board where I first found the video claim the game seems to be somewhat on rails and pretty heavily scripted, but honestly I don’t think so – the events seem to flow together, and it seems like the player is in control more often than not, especially in combat scenes and making decisions on when to move from place to place.

Still, sit back and enjoy this taste of what the game will look like when it eventually comes out in 2012. Need to embiggen? Head over to YouTube for high-quality, screen-filling goodness.
