Hasta La Gadget!

It’s been a long time coming, but after getting hit with two separate delays, Irrational Games and 2K Games’ BioShock Infinite is now available for you to buy starting today.

The journey to today’s release has been a long one as BioShock Infinite was originally announced back in 2010, which prior to that was called “Project Icarus.” The original teaser trailer for Project Icarus got many BioShock fans excited at the time, which made those two previous delays even more heartbreaking.

The second weekend of the NCAA Basketball tournament takes place this week with the Sweet 16 and Elite 8, but hoops fans will also want to keep an eye on the streaking Miami Heat. Meanwhile, some sci fi / fantasy favorites are highlights thanks to their seasonal return or departure this week, but we’d also give new series like BBC America’s Orphan Black a chance in between sessions of Bioshock: Infinite. Look below for the highlights this week, followed after the break by our weekly listing of what to look out for in TV, Blu-ray and videogames.

Doctor Who
Doctor Who is back, now featuring actress Jenna-Louise Coleman as companion Clara Oswald for the next half season. There’s a preview trailer embedded after the break, and the BBC has a rundown of the first four episodes right here.

The Walking Dead
This season of everyone’s favorite zombie series is finally ready to wrap up with what we expect will be an epic showdown between the prison residents and Woodbury. Last season’s finale certainly met our expectations in terms of action, we’ll see if it can repeat or even top that effort this time around.

Game of Thrones
Winter is… still coming. Game of Thrones is back for season three and there is an appropriate amount of backstabbing, intrigue, violence and dragons to go around. By now we know what to expect from the lands of Westeros, if you need to be filled in check after the break for a recap of the last two seasons.

The closer we get to March 26, the harder it is for us to not have BioShock Infinite on the brain. We’ve seen some great content coming from Irrational Games over the past few months which highlight Columbia’s Impending Doom, Elizabeth possibly being a person who should be feared as well as Booker’s motives not starting out to be as honest as we were lead to believe. Last night, the first official 60-second TV commercial spot for BioShock Infinite debuted, and it’s as awesome as you probably expect it to be.

BioShock Infinite’s 60-second TV commercial is a great mix of action and music with a little bit of the supernatural mixed in there for good measure. Unfortunately, as the commercial suggests at its opening, it’s all CGI, but that doesn’t make it any less awesome, especially considering the in-game footage has always looked fantastic to us.

If you have yet to pre-order your copy of BioShock Infinite, even after hearing about its nifty pre-order bonuses and its premium and Ultimate Songbird editions were announced, we think now would be a good time for you to get your order in as the game looks to be one that shouldn’t be missed.

Of all the games are launching early in 2013, BioShock Infinite is certainly one of the most anticipated. The game will see players exploring the floating city of Columbia and fighting against baddies as they strive to rescue the mysterious time-and-space-tearing Elizabeth. The game will launch on March 26, which is only a few weeks away now. This game was originally expected to launch last year but was delayed.

Irrational and 2K Games have now announced that along with the launch of the video game on March 26 will also come the launch of a Season Pass that will get players all three add-on content packs currently in development for one low price.

The Season Pass will sell for $19.99(USD) for PS3 and PC gamers, while Xbox 360 gamers will pay 1600 Microsoft Points ($20). Buying the Season Pass will save customers about 30% compared to buying the add-on packs individually.

Gamers who pre-order the Season Pass will also get four pieces of exclusive gear, a machine gun damage upgrade, a pistol damage upgrade, gold skin for both weapons, and five infusion bottles. Those infusion bottles help players increase health, shield duration, and vigors.

We’ll be completely honest with you. We’ve had some lengthy debates on whether or not the previously released trailer for BioShock Infinite was any good. Some of us could appreciate the 1970s film-strip video style, while others think it was complete rubbish. If you weren’t a fan of the last trailer and prefer a more “traditional” trailer filled with action, suspense and hints into a game’s story, then you’ll be happy with the trailer Irrational Games released today.

BioShock Infinite’s “City in the Sky” trailer yet again introduces the player to the floating city of Columbia. You’ll witness people bending fire and electricity to their will and a mysterious girl who you’ll need to save.

The trailer shows another hint at a Elizabeth’s possible ability to bend time and space as one part of the trailer shows her opening what looks to be a portal. Inside of the portal is a black & white image of Paris, although it’s still unsure at this time what hidden power Elizabeth is capable of. We guess we’ll have to wait and see when BioShock Infinite is released on March 26.
