Interesting, i enjoyed all the shock games[just bought infinite,not played yet] System shock 2 is one of my all time favorites and thief was pretty novel at the time. Not sure about the narrative game thing, wonder if he's talking about stuff like the tell tale games, those seem more like a digital interactive comics to me. Don't mind a little dialog,but not looking for an all dialog game like thing. Might just be my short attention span though.

I've been sad ever since they dumped the awesome and original Freedom Force series and went into that crappy repetitive Bioshock franchise  :-[

Bioshock Infinite is the only game in the series I've played but it rocked.

Infinite is on the very short list of console games that I talk about years after having played them.  One must be cautious to avoid hyperbole but it is assuredly one of the greatest games ever created...at least to my mind.
