Ok so Friday I'm picking up one or the other. I played the Prototype demo and liked it, wasnt a huge fan of the comic book style though. Prototype looks very cool aswell, Im drawn to the gritty combat. Both look awsome but I'm only getting one. Can anyone give me an idea on which one would be better?

Everyone seems to think these games are so similar. Yes, kinda superpowers in an open world...the similarities end there though. However, inFamous is just generally the better game I would say.

They have nothing in common...why are you comparing them? 

One game is a fantastic game and the other is worse than TooHuman.

Well they are both open world super hero games which have been compared many times. I dont have the money to buy both right now which is why I ask.

I haven't played either. But from reviews, and what gamers have said about both I would say inFAMOUS for sure.

One is much more polished and focused while the other has a bunch of crazy, over-the-top awesome content but is less polished. That's basically the differences between them. I still haven't played much of inFAMOUS but I've put about 5 hours into Prototype so I'll just not comment on which one to pick up because I don't really know.

inFAMOUS is an all around more polished game, with a lot of unique game mechanics and an interesting plot. Prototype is a fun sandbox - nothing more, nothing less. I am enjoying both, but inFAMOUS has been way more satisfying for me.

I am going against everyone by saying Prototype. I have never played InFAMOUS, but  I really think that Prototype is one of the funnest games that I've ever played. Maybe you should rent them both before you buy, but if not, buy Prototype

I honestly don't understand why Infamous is getting all this love and Prototype isn't. Infamous is fun...but Prototype is FUN. If you can look past it not looking quite as nice, Prototype is the way to go.
