Now that I have a PS3, I can look at a wider variety of games which aren't on the PC. A category that I haven't played much ever is the sandbox type. Now, I heard about Prototype when it was announced and the concept really excited me which hasn't happened much at all.

Prototype was promised to have a co-op mode, which had 2 players on splitscreen (I think) play together, which is what initially made me look forward to this game. Obviously this idea was dropped and I wasn't too happy about it, but it still looked like a great game.

Then I found out about InFamous. I thought about getting one of them and different trailers kept changing my mind, so I decided to get both. Prototype looks like you'll be a complete badass while InFamous looks like you can help you and your friends or the city as a whole. Based on that, evil is for being a bit selfish for a lack of better words, good being helping the people as a whole. Note that's based on what I know and it won't necessarily be right.

So. Sandbox games. Run around and kill some stuff for as long as you want. Most of my gaming time has been spent on RTS's and FPS's, which is kind of typical. Recently I've played some fighting in SFIV, platforming in LBP and some stealth in MGS4 and I'll be playing Assassin's Creed again soon. Now I'll be checking out sandbox in these two games, which look really good.

This blog kind of turned into a comparison of InFamous and Prototype, but its now kind of on sandbox games in general. Anyone reading this: Will you be getting none, one or both of these games? Why? Has anyone else almost exclusively played one genre in general?

FYI: Prototype comes out 10 June this year in Australia and InFamous comes out on the 11th. I'll be picking them up on the 11th. Hopefully I plat them both. I'm in desperate need of trophies :lol:
