A Look Back: B2G1 Blowout

A little less than a month ago I gave some snap judgements of three PS3 games I had just purchased. Now, with a little more playtime under my belt I'll look back and see if my initial feelings were accurate. 
 
UFC Undisputed 2010: I'll confess right now that I haven't actually finished any of these games, but UFC Undisputed still has the least playtime of the three. I just can't get into it. I'm not particularly good at fighting games, nor do I particularly understand the sport, so I doubt this game will leave the shelf anytime soon. I'll chalk this up as a purchase I regret.
 
Demon's Souls: This is still a game that I really, really want to like. It is also a game that really, really pisses me off. I may not ever finish Demon's Souls, and I've come to terms with that, just as I've come to terms with losing all my souls every five minutes because I made a silly mistake. Demon's Souls is not designed for the easily frustrated, so I would do well to stay away from it, but it keeps pulling me back in. I've sunk enough time into the game to know that I really enjoy playing it, but I can't be sure I will ever finish it or, for that matter, get any good at it.
 
InFamous: InFamous is a lot of fun. It really is. I enjoy running, jumping, and climbing around the city, killing mutants and collecting shards. However, I can't really find it in myself to care about the story. It's been a little bit since I've played the game as I've been working my way through Arkham Asylum (good game, who knew?), but I don't immediately remember what's going on in the story, and I'm not sure if I really care what's going on in the story. The missions, really the whole game, just feel like excuses to make the player character more powerful so the player can have more fun free roaming. That's okay with me. 
 
I would say that I might do a review of some of these games after I finish them, but considering how I play games, I doubt I will remember the first half of them by the time they're finished.
