I wonder if I should get this game, I only heard about it for the first time about five days ago. I wonder if I should pre-Order the game based on the previews. I set my self a limit for buying two games this year and I have Assassin's Creed 2 in the plans and the second one was Bioshock 2. Now I have my doubts about Bioshock 2 and then I saw previews about Infamous and it looks cool. 


What do you guys think???

Give it a rental, just to be safe. It does look really nice though.

If you can only buy two, wait for it to come out and then make your judgment.

Looks pretty solid. I'm debating the same right now.

I'm probably going to pick it up, I got a $100 Best Buy gift card for my birthday... so I don't have to feel so bad about dropping $60 on a single player game.

The Demo will be open to everyone on the 21st so we'll all have some on hands time with it, I read that the demo will have three missions in it so it sound like a solid demo. i pretty mch know if I will like the game by playing the demo. I must say though that the it looks like a really solid game. I really feel like Sony is finally coming out with some good exclusives.

If you think so.  Go with your gut though, not reviews.  You know what you like. Hell, there's no reason to listen to us nieither.
All I'll say is that it seems to focus more on the shooting than the city platforming, which is okay, but I dunno, it sort of is an action shooter.  Which is fine though, not necesarily a bad thing.

Personally, you should only buy a game that has two things: 1. The game has gotten good reviews or a trusted compatriot has recommended it to you
                                                                                                              2. The amount of gameplay time is enough so that your 60 dollars were worth it.

The reviews have been pretty good for it so far, and it looks like it'll offer a ton of content.


I'm buying it :D

If you can only buy two, probably not, there are some great games coming out in the fall so you might want to wait until then to make your decision on what two games you want.

For me, if I could only buy two, I'd probably go with Modern Warfare 2 and Dragon Age Origins.

I have a wired feeling that prototype will be buggy and will under deliver, I won't be too hasty to judge though it's just my paranoid superstitious gypsy genes. I'll just wait until the demo for InFamous becomes public on the 21st.

Well didn't they delay Prototype get delayed for a whole year because they wanted to finish it?

But I perfer Prototype because I find the story and gameplay more to my liking, and the scale seems WAY bigger then Infamous's.

Bioshock 2 doesn't even come out for a few more months. I guess money's tight?

What are you using as a source for such affirmations? Infamous has over 30 hours of gameplay, are you saying that Prototype has like 60 hours? What "greater scale" means and how did you find it out?

It is perfectly ok for you prefer one over the other, I just want to make sure the information about Infamous is accurate.

I can see how one could be disappointed in POP, but hate?  It got a bit repetitive but it had a great look and the characters eventually grew on me.  And there was something oddly relaxing about the platforming.
