In part one of an extended conversation with Bioshock Infinite Creative Director Ken Levine, Adam and Ken discuss the history and themes behid the city of Columbia. Where does the idea for the floating city come from, and what sort of themes have informed the dark underbelly of its populace? How has some of the darker parts of American history (and its Founders) influenced the narrative? Ken answers these questions and much more in part one of our interview series.

Ken Levine did for games what Alan Moore did for comics, which is bring literary power to it. Bioshock is amazing.

These interviews with Ken Levine are amazing. I really wish we had more developers with his sensibilities in the games industry who truly understand the power of this medium

I absolutely love the energy of the interviewer/host. He kind of reminds of Psycho from the Crysis-games. Levine is brilliant as usual.

Glad I watched this interview before playing the game, now I'll have a deeper appreciation for the subtle nods toward American history throughout the game. Great interview Adam!

Hey folks - unfortunately we've had to turn on approved comments due to people trying to spoil the game. We hate to do this, but we feel like its the best solution right now. As a result it might take a while for your comment to show up, but we'll get to it as fast as we can.

I it's so good watching these AFTER you play the game. You actually get something from these after you play the game instead of before playing the game.

I really liked how they went over the subtler elements of storytelling and world-building in the game. There dont seem to be any boring infodumps, just clever use of set-pieces and dialogue to set atmosphere and give the player information of their surroundings. Pretty cool.

This guy would be an amazing person to just sit down and have a chat with. History really does interest me as well and i could imagine talking for hours.
