I recently played through Bioshock Infinite, a game that came out about a month ago to great reviews and was an overall great experience. The story takes place in a fantastical world in which the year about 1912 and tears in the fabric of space-time has allowed the creation of a puritan colony in the skies. The most interesting part of these tears in time is that it seemed that according to the game's lore, one of the minor characters profited off of them by taking songs that he heard through the tears and writing them for the time. This is a wink at the audience playing the game, as the characters mention that they have never heard the songs, but the player may know them from their own past. I've provided a couple of the songs below, and they honestly give me goosebumps when I listen to them again. It's interesting to see a game take an old song for a new era, and make it sound even older!
