That arm is totally emergent. I had so many "oh shit" moments barely saving myself with it or doing something with it instinctively that i didn't realize i could actually do (like winding the cable around the strut you're swinging from to actually land on top of it without releasing.

Practise practise practise. I love that element of chaos and the satisfaction i get from a well timed swing. I hope to dear god they get to do a sequel.

Playing some kind of maze game on my neighbor's Atari (can't remember which one). I remember it as all white on black, pacman-like, and you're this dude running away from spiders or something in a maze. I think you could shoot too

1. This is awesome looking.
2. Gamers are so god damn spoiled these days. WHEN I WAS YOung bLbalbalbal[trailing off]

First of all, kudos to Radical for simply making Hulk: Ultimate Destruction over again. That game was amazing, and this is just more of it, with bells on. That is a standing ovation from me. The kind of destructive freedom this game gives you makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. It's just blindingly over the top. I don't particularly care about the story much, but they're doing a very good job trying to make me care, and it's easily appreciated. Nice and bleak evil government agency conspiracy with a bunch of pink monsters thrown into it. My biggest fear now is that the entire city is going to wind up infected by the disease; those areas are seriously fugly.

Second, it runs surprisingly well on my computer, which has a pretty low-end Quadro graphics card. It runs far better than The Sims 3, which surprised me a lot. It's not super pretty, but it stays dead on at 30fps or higher. More kudos to Radical for an engine that scales so nicely; it seems console->pc ports mostly don't care so much about PCs lower specced than the console they originally ran on (which happens these days).

Third.. Not that Brads review was negative (this is a four star game for sure), but i can't help but wonder if his opinion wasn't colored at least slightly by having been so infatuated with Infamous. In my mind there's only so many open world superpowered-dude-in-a-busted-up-city you can play within such a short time.

I hope Infamous doesn't deter anyone from playing this. I'm having a hell of a lot of fun. It's just an incredibly generous game.
