The highly anticipated follow up to the Bioshock series is right around the corner. Irrational Games have created an entirely new Bioshock that is not directly connected to the previous 2 titles. BioShock Infinite is set in 1912 with you playing as former Pinkerton agent, Booker DeWitt. You get sent to the floating city, Columbia, to find a young woman who has been captive there for 12 years. Judging by the gameplay footage we’ve seen of BioShock Infinite, it get’s pretty dicey. The game looks gorgeous on PC, even though it’s not going for a hyper realistic look, the world is large looking and the effects are nice. Find out if your PC has specs to run BioShock Infinite.

Not too hefty. I think most PC gamers will be able to run BioShock Infinite, at least on medium-low settings. If you’ve got a decent gaming PC, it will definitely look sharper than on consoles, as do most Unreal Engine 3 games.
