Without a doubt, Bioshock Infinite’s narrative is among the most sublime ever seen in the medium, treating gamers to philosophical conundrums and scientific paradoxes that most are still contemplating weeks after the game’s release.  Indeed, one could devote entire essays to any one of its many weighty themes, from the traps of predestination to the nature of evil.  But the game does more than challenge our conceptions of ethics and perceptions of reality—it also succeeds in critically damaging that long known fixture in digital storytelling known as the “silent protagonist.”
