Not At All Famous - Nope, Not One Bit

Infamous. I'll just let you sit there for a minute and reflect on the title of this great PS3 only game...

Taken a minute? Good! Well, what do you think?

Nothing? Can't take anything from the name... hmm... Well, what about a screenie??

Basically, you are a human lightning rod - shoot electricity from your hands, absorb it from televisions, lightposts, generators, anything electrical. You can also climb up buildings better than Spiderman, glide around on railway lines faster than Superman. That's right, you are the new superhero of Empire City!!

Or the new supervillain. That's the path I took. The red lightning is a dead giveaway. The thing I love about this game is the impact your choices have on how the game turns out. Steal from a guy (in a mission) and the people in the area start to hate you. Kill too many bystanders and they throw rocks at you (or run away terrified). The good vs evil isn't a clear-cut choice every time either. The guy hanging from the street light - do you shoot him with lightning or walk away? I walked away and was given a bigger evil rating.

 

As far as sand-box games go, this is probably my favourite now. You take the pace of the game as fast as you want - follow the main path, do the side quests, or go shard collecting!! I did every side-mission as it came up, freeing different parts of the city from the control of the gangs that take over at the beginning. Gang members come in all shapes and sizes, from the tiny scorpion-like constructs that sting you if you aren't fast enough to zap them, all the way up to the giant robots that have a person inside with similar powers to you. Watch out Cole, you're going to become a human pancake!

Finally, after looking at some of the awesome powers that you have access to, I hear you asking:

"Mr Wolf, sir, is that it?" Here's one last screenie to give you a hint:

Marvelous that.
