High Praise for inFamous

Wierd spelling aside, inFamous seems to be everything it was cracked up to be. Every review I've read of the game has been glowing.

ArsTechnica says "There is something about inFamous that's decidedly adult and satisfying, and not in the "OMG BOOBIES" way. This is a what-if story about a city with no hope and a man who has been taken out of his life to do something about it. An absolute must-buy."

1up states "Sucker Punch has created a finely-crafted mashup of superheroes, Sly Cooper, open-world gameplay, morality, and lightning in InFamous."

Gamespot sums it up: "Incredible freedom of movement, intense combat, and an enthralling story make Infamous an impressive open-world action game."

I've kind of gotten a lot of games lately, but this one is probably another one I'd like to pick up. I love the appeal of a game where you are in the midst of a crisis and have the ability to restore life to a nearly lost city. Sounds like a blast!
