10 Best DLC Of 2013

3. Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea (Episode One)

Elizabeth and Booker are back in Bioshock Infinite: Burial at Sea, just not how you remember them. The underwater city of Rapture is also back in this intriguing story DLC, seemingly set in an alternative universe. As Booker, you're now a film-noir style private detective, hired by an equally noir-ish Elizabeth to find a child named Sally. Most of the DLC is exposition which will likely see a payoff in the upcoming second episode, but the return to Rapture and seeing it alive and somewhat populated, albeit briefly will bring out the nostalgia in even the most casual fans. It's fan service for the most part, with references to characters such as Andrew Ryan and Kyle Fitzpatrick and bringing back that enclosed, claustrophobic feel of the original games. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mv3FhE6_TK0 It's also interesting that Booker is now the one who is at home in his surroundings, instead of Elizabeth, who apparently knows very little, or so she says. It's a complete flip from the main game. Burial at Sea doesn't offer too much as far as story goes, but the return of the weapon wheel and just being able to fight through Rapture again is enough to make this a must have for Bioshock fans, and the second part should hopefully be a doozy.
