Infamous: More Infamouser

That title looks really wierd.

Infamous continues to be fun. It gets a little repetitive -- I've made it to about the halfway point of the second island and you keep doing some of the same things. But it's a little like Assassin's Creed: if you enjoy wiping out tons of enemies in new and interesting ways while climbing all over buildings and other architecture, it's a lot of fun. And I'm having a lot of fun. The sense of speed while skimming around on power wires or electrified train rails is a blast, and I get real satisfaction out of cleaning up the ruined city bit by bit.

Had a cool boss fight with a gameplay mechanic that was pretty fresh, really enjoyed that. Getting deeping into the storyline as well, cool trying to puzzle out just what the heck happened. I've even enjoyed going and grabbing the collectibles, especially since they are either A) give backstory tidbits or B) give you greater energy capacity.
