How to be truely InFamous...

Oh Ps3... Nobody loves you like I do. Rather than give me sequel, after sequel, you give me new I.P. And not just average new I.P. You deliver the best of this generation. Heavenly Sword, Valkyria Chronicles, Uncharted, and now InFamous.

Let me just say firstly that InFamous doesn't do a whole lot new when it comes to open world games, it just does everything BETTER. From the first time you pick up the DualShock, you will find that our hero moves around so fluidly. He is fast, jumping from building to building feels fantastic. Sucker Punch nailed control and movement in their first outing since Sly 3.

The gameplay is a mix of platformer and third person shooter, with the latter more prevalent. You have upgrades that you can use to empower Cole, and even your decisions, good or bad, will give you different abilities.

The story is great if you take it for what it is, a comic book style narrative. I found myself often playing just to see what happens to Cole. With one of the better endings I have seen in a few years, there was no disappointment in finishing the tale.

So, without going on too much longer, I will leave you with this: In a sea of yearly sequels and reboots, its nice to see new games come out that are truly new and refreshing. If you pass this gem up, it is you who will become InFamous!!!

Killzone 2's Controls Are Fixed!!!!!

Yea, this is old news. I just thought I'd share this bit of information for those who didn't know. I knew about it since the patch went live, but I was waiting for the opportunity to pick it up again cheap used. I already bought it once, so I'll be damned if I'm going to give Guerrilla my money TWICE. Anyways, the controls are totally fixed now, and I'm having a fucking blast with the game. I'm not done with it yet, and I'm not going to review it since we already have an ass-load of Killzone 2 shit up on the blog. I'll only say that my happiness level has increased immensely with this much-needed fix, and now I'm definitely going to finish the game. Kudos do Guerrilla for not being total douches and owning up to the fact that they fucked up. That's something I can't say for every company. Read more...
