  • inFamous - PS3 games are really starting to come into their own

    inFamous is now $20 cheaper than it was at launch so I picked it up. It's an awesome game. It's GTA meets Spiderman meets KOTOR. It's got GTA's true open-world feel, amped up a bit due to the Spiderman type features: you can seamlessly clime virtually anything in the game, and jump around everywhere. You are a superhero, after all. The sense of feeling is incredible.

    It also has a morality system not unlike Bioware's games. Do good things and you unlock good powers, do evil things and you unlock evil powers.

    The graphics are pretty incredible. You can scale a really tall building and just swing the camera around and the draw distance is incredibly far. It's one of the most impressive graphical games of this generation that I've yet to play, if only because it's different from the cookie-cutter type graphics we get now with Unreal Engine-powered games...

    It has an 85 on metacritic: http://www.metacritic.com/games/plat...ous?q=infamous

    If you have a PS3, check it out. There's a demo up on PSN also.

    My understanding is the 'good' path is rather annoying due to friendly fire making the more potent attacks damage your morality, and anything resembling a 'neutral' path gimps your character.

    I've been thinking this might be a bargain-bin after christmas pickup, though.

      If you're looking for a Diablo-like game, Demon's soul sounds pretty good. The reviews are very good.

          I though Infamous was horribly bleak and depressing, the city was unoriginal and uninteresting. It had a lot of potential which I hope is better realised in the next iteration.
