In this brand-new BioShock Infinite trailer, designer and lovely boy Ken Levine talks about opening windows into other worlds. It's a pretty interesting look at how 2K approaches the narrative in its games, but the bit you really want to wait for is the in-game clip at the end. Talk about fascinating!

BioShock Infinite is a game I 'm not trying to play some very high at this early stage, but it' s always difficult. My love for Levine 's team as an excellent narrator is quite strong, and everything I' ve seen the infinite looks pretty nice. Hard to keep the excitement low, really!

Instead of falling for the invasion of the "Deadites", the castle is controlled by both players hero Ash (voiced by Bruce Campbell) and a series of differently qualified, expandable troops protected. It 'sa little easier to take on tower defense, but no less pleasant for them.
