There Are Other Worlds Than These

The first BioShock game was amazing. The sequel, while not quite up to the first game's standards, was still quite good. But BioShock Infinite is on another level. When you begin the game, rising like the Phoenix to the floating city of Columbia (the game is set in 1912) and are soon baptized and introduced to the religion (the people worship founding fathers Washington, Franklin and Jefferson like saints) and make your way towards the fair celebrating the launching of Columbia, one of the many scenes you stumble upon is a barbershop quartet. Now, most games might give them a period piece to sing - but lo and behold the gentlemen launch into a quite good rendition of the Beach Boys "God Only Knows" - you can stay for the entire performance before the men are whisked off on a flying barge ...
