Mac Gamer HQ has posted a new review of BioShock Infinite, the recently released Mac version of Irrational Games' epic shooter. Brought to the Mac by Aspyr Media, BioShock Infinite introduces an "entirely new narrative experience that lifts players out of the familiar confines of Rapture and rockets them to Columbia, an immense city in the sky."

From the review:

The Gameplay itself is top-notch too. This is an action-packed First-Person shooter with lots of guns and explosions but before you tell me you don’t need another Call of Duty, rest assured, BioShock Infinite is a different beast. Like its predecessors, this game is authentic and unique. There are no grenades, fancy thermal weapons nor airstrikes. It only has a handful of different guns. Basic, yet full of personality (like a killer sniper rifle, a powerful shotgun or a kickass RPG). The game changer here are the super-natural powers you will have at your disposal, called Vigors. There are many and will let you “possess” enemy units and make them friendly, absorb bullets, throw angry crows at people and more. Mixing them with guns is a lot of fun and helps the game stand out from the growing First-Person Shooters crowd. This combination of simple yet powerful guns and Vigors made me feel the same way the first BioShock did, and that’s a good thing.
