Bioshock Infinite

March 26 | Xbox 360, PS3, PC

How do you top one of the greatest video games of all time? You take to the skies, apparently, which is exactly where BioShock Infinite is set. Specifically, this shooter takes place on the flying city of Colombia during an alternate version of 1912. Riffing on everything from American exceptionalism to the Occupy movement, its heady vision of the past is matched by its stunning character design and time-bending gameplay.

The Last of Us

June 14 | Playstation 3

The words "post-apocalyptic drama" might sound a little played out these days, but we guarantee you've never played a game quite like The Last of Us. Built by Uncharted experts Naughty Dog, this terrifying action adventure stars Joel and Ellie, an unlikely duo trying to make their way across a United States devastated by a deadly plague. The hands-down winner of last year's E3 expo, it takes cinematic gaming to unprecedented – and unflinching – new heights. Is this the last great PS3 exclusive?
