ESRB Details:

This is a massively-multiplayer online (MMO)/third-person shooter in which players assume the role of a mercenary salvager in a post-apocalyptic world. Players use laser pistols, machine guns, sniper rifles, and rocket launchers to kill various alien creatures, robots, and human characters. The frenetic combat is accompanied by realistic gunfire/explosions, screams of pain, and blood-splatter effects. Some attacks include sniper-scope depictions of headshots; bloodstains often remain in the environment for long periods of time. During the course of the game, characters sometimes engage in suggestive/sexual dialogue (e.g., “They were rapin' our pows and eatin' our women,” “Meet them and we risk seeing our men executed, our women raped, and our children indoctrinated,” “He'll get up close and personal with the tramp and feel things out.”). The game also includes a handful of drug references (e.g., “Just heard the Collins girl died of a drug overdose,” “These guys are higher than the Ark Belt,” and “some kind of Votan plant that can produce enough morphine to keep the whole Bay in a morphine dream”). The words “f**k,” “sh*t,” and “a*shole” are heard in dialogue.

Bioshock Infinite Spoiler Free Review

Developer: Irrational Games | Publisher: 2K Games
Players: 1 Player Game | Release Date: 03/26/13 | Genre: FPS

The word Art is defined as the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination. For many, Art and videogames don’t go together. Videogames are seen as a game that requires pressing buttons and little or no thought. This argument could have been made many years ago but not so much anymore. With titles like The Walking Dead, Journey, and now Bioshock Infinite showing that games can be art.

ESRB Details: Rated for: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Language, Mild Sexual Themes, and Use of Alcohol and Tobacco.

Rating Summary: This is a first-person shooter, set in a fictional city-in-the sky (Columbia), in which players assume the role of a private investigator searching for a mysterious woman. As players explore the city, they encounter a variety of armed guards, thugs, and mechanical creations that attack the central character. Players use pistols, shotguns, rifles, and machine guns to kill these enemies. A three-pronged hook can be used to dismember and decapitate several enemies. Players can also use an assortment of special powers to defeat enemies (e.g., setting characters on fire, electrocuting them). Large blood-splatter effects occur when characters are injured. Enemies are also depicted beating themselves with a bat or shooting themselves in the head when they are possessed; during one sequence, a character intentionally sets herself on fire. During the course of the game, characters sometimes engage in suggestive/sexual dialogue (e.g., “Obscenity and fornication everywhere!” “Could use a good roll in the hay after this,” “I think yeh gave me the clap, ya dirty boy…”). The game allows players' character to obtain 'health' by consuming beer and whiskey; the screen turns fuzzy and distorted if the player consumes too many drinks. The social/political backdrop of the fictional city (set in the year 1912) includes the use of derogatory ethnic/racial terms (e.g., the words 'gook,' 'chink,' 'negroes,' 'injuns,' 'crackers'); language such as 'sh*t' can also be heard in dialogue.
