BioShock Infinite won Best of Show at E3 this year, and for good reason. Media at E3 were treated to a special demo. Garnett took a look and told us this: "BioShock Infinite looks like everything I'd hoped it could be, and maybe even more."

Well, don't you want to watch the same demo he got to see? Well you can see the first two minutes of that presentation right here:

It's entirely understandable that you'd want more, but two minutes is all you'll get for now. The entire presentation will be part of a half-hour special on next week's episode of GameTrailers TV. If you want to watch the demo before it goes live on the internet, you'll want to tune in to Spike on July 7th. "Check your local listings," folks.

  The fidelity of the lighting and textures looks way better. The last two Bioshocks looked more cartoonish than I would have liked.

  BF3, rage and skyrim looked infinitely better than this.

    I saw live demos of or played all of these games, and I disagree. I wasn't even a big Bioshock fan (thought it was good, not OMG INCREDIBLE), but nothing surprised me more than Infinite.

      That said, you can't judge anything based on only the first two minutes of the demo. It get bugnuts insane

    Well this was just a chunk of the larger demo, and it's mostly downtime in an interior location. Some of the other clips of Infinite were looking much better while actually showing off some frenetic gameplay.

  This looked awesome and gave me Half-Life 2 vibes from the slower paced narrative stuff. Just great. Can't wait for the full E3 demo and game.

    I thought the story telling in this scene was fantastic!

  Cool, I'm really glad they moved away from the underwater scene for this one, I'm actually excited!

    Rapture was too gloomy for my tastes; but I think if the first Bioshocks had story like this it could have been a lot better.
    
    I never did like silent protagonists. It's a game, I don't feel like the player no matter how mute they are!

  OK, I can already tell that Irrational will make you care deeply about Elizabeth and then off her at the end.
  
  I can't decide whether I love or hate that idea....
