This game deserves good scores. I am loving it right now and it makes me feel bad that some time the game actually has to end. But no worries because then Ill just play as the other side of karma.

Nicely written review and agreethat this game is quite difficult, and I'm just playing on Medium. Since theres a lot of variety in your moves and ways to get around it allows you to get creative when taking down your foes which is really makes this game amazing.

Well that's what we call an opinion.

You think the game sucked, I didn't enjoy it either. But the game has something like 97% on Metacritic, behind only games like Ocarina of Time and Super Mario Galaxy.

I do agree Edge has some solid reviews, but please don't talk like your opinions are facts.

Oh and I'm thrilled inFamous got another good review, but I'm afraid I can't afford it right now, not since I'm getting married in about a week.

Except for the auto jumps (whatever you call it) rarely grabing what I want, if it grabs onto anything at all, the game is very good. I gave it an 8.5.

Eurogamer? The site that played an MMORPG for three hours, half of which was spent in character creation, and gave it a terrible score? Then refused to retract the review when confronted with evidence that the review was chock full of factual errors and blatant lies? Yeah, that's real proper. Edge just randomly underscores great games, and overrated middling games. They are not legitimate reviewers, they just play a certain segment of core gamers like a harp from hell.

InFamous is an EXCELLENT game and I have been addictied to it since it came out. Also, looking forward to Prototype more than ever. Oh, and by the way Grand Theft Auto IV wasn't a bad game:!: seriously, I don't understand the hate but, it is your opinion so whatever.

I'll admit, Eurogamer brought up some interesting points here and there but their review was basically another perspective of the same thing people praised the game about. Ya know, different taste buds.

Well congrats goes to Sucker Punch for an awesome game. Call it blasphemy but yesterday was probably the only day this week inFAMOUS didn't get any play time, mainly because I ordered Hot Shots Golf : Out of Bounds and had been waiting for it for a while, but tonight I'll be jumping back on.

Eurogamer sucks big time, they gave resistance a 7. MGS4 an 8, Folklore a 5 and so on. Most of the time European scores on games are always lower than other regions.

Hmm, really? I should read their review. Either they hate the PS3, want attention, or are missing something in the game because there have been some cases were Eurogamer reviews games without even playing them.

Giving Resistance a 7 is entirely acceptable. It didn't have a great story, the gameplay was generic and overall it didn't do anything new. I haven't played MGS4, but to my knowledge you have to play the previous games before understanding **** from the plot. Maybe they didn't? Plus the cutscenes wear people down.

I googled Edge's score of infamous, and to no surprise, apparently they gave it a 7. I disagree, but they seem like the artsy-types who care more about presentation and story than the fundamentals of gameplay (not to bash them, they're a solid gamemagazine, and I don't mean they don't care about gameplay at all, just not as much as the story). That's okay, though, but I checked what they gave Halo 3 out of curiosity, and they gave it a straight **** 10. Halo's story wasn't spectacular and it too didn't bring anything new to the table (that I know anyway). I just have to wonder, how did they like it so much? That isn't like edge.

Because they are crap. Resistance was not a 7 scoring game. It was a stellar launch title, new ip and such for a new console. Very gutsy of Insomniac to make this over Ratchet as a launch game. Resistance was a very fun game straight out. The offline was simply FUN, no it didn't break ground or do anything new, but then again, how many fps's do break ground and do something new? COD4 certainly did nothing more than offer a tight 60fps gameplay experience wrapped in very nice presentation and sound, with a terribly generic storyline. Resistance was a very similar package to COD, as it offered a tight single player experience and a excellent online fragfest. The only places Resistance stumbled was presentation and frame rate was locked at 30 as opposed to 60fps. It was a 8.5-9 game compared to COD4 being a 9-9.5 game. 7 is ridiculously underscored, when crap like PDZ scores 9's on sites like this. Resistance was probably my favorite fps this gen until Killzone 2 arrived....But I completely understand how COD4 can be considered better....I just think it is not by as much as people have you believe. I still cannot get over people actually thinking ANY fps is anything more than a gloryiafied version of Doom or Wolfenstein. FPS do not really turn into something other than what they are.......there is only one way to go with the genre. With technology they have come from coridoor based linear shooters, to outdoor based linear shooters with varying levels of camoflouge that hide there linearity and corridoor based roots. They haven't gone past that stage yet, and ones that have (Far Cry 2) lose that fun appeal due to the fact that there is so much boring open space searching breaking up the action and flow of the game. Glad Infamous scored well, it deserves high scores, as the demo was awesome.......I was sold on getting the game, but will now have to wait to see how Prototype stacks up in comparison, as RF:Guerilla, FNR4 will only allow the budget for one purchase of two similar games. So which ever is better of the two will get my money.

Upon reading all of the updates, inFamous actually sounds like an amazing game. But funds are limited in my book and personally I would rather have Prototype before InFamous. I guess something about a free-roaming super powered zombie infection grabs my attention better. Although I am sure both games will do just fine... I will have to take the backburner on this one for awhile, and maybe wait until prices drop.
