Bioshock Infinite Reviews
Thrust into the year 1912, players take on the role of former Pinkerton agent Booker DeWitt, who has traveled to the flying city of Columbia on a rescue mission. His target is Elizabeth, a young lady imprisoned since her childhood years. During their bold escape, Booker and Elizabeth form a powerful bond — one which lets Booker enhance his own abilities with her world-altering control over the environment. As a team, they fight from high-speed Sky-Lines, in the streets and houses of Columbia, on giant Zeppelins and in the clouds, while simultaneously learning to harness an growing arsenal of weapons and abilities.

IGN (94/100): A brilliant shooter that nudges the entire genre forward with innovations in both storytelling and gameplay. It trips over itself in a couple of spots, but not in any way that should keep you from embracing it with your utmost enthusiasm.

Rage Reviewed
Rage is a first-person shooter video game by id Software released on October 4, 2011. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic world and similar to Fallout. The game is set in the near future following the impact of the asteroid 99942 Apophis.
Here are some eviews of the game.
IGN (85/100): The great controls and useful weapon upgrades help make Rage’s shooting parts a lot of fun, but the storyline fails to create any real tension and the game’s characters, friendly and hostile, never do or say anything memorable.
Gamespot (80/100): Rage is a beautiful game that looks equally stunning with or without the hefty installation (which reduces the load times and is optional on the 360 but required on the PS3), so regardless of which platform you play on, you’ll find a rich and rewarding adventure that sets a new visual standard for the postapocalyptic wasteland.
1UP (75/100): It’s nothing revolutionary. It comes from a different kind of Id, one that would rather play with existing conventions than reinvent them. Conversely, it’s the same Id that puts look and feel on the same high pillar, and it’s impossible to call Rage badly-composed. I just don’t think it’s going to be remembered as anything but a sleeper hit of the fall of 2011.
