Shock & awe


So I finished inFamous and sent it back to Gamefly. I was going to write a review of it here, but Yahtzee actually did a much better job than I would have, and I agree with most of what he says. Overall it was an enjoyable experience, the protagonist's abilities were pretty unique and used in interesting ways, and the story had some decent writing. Not sure I would have bought it, but then, that's why I'm paying $15 a month to Gamefly. I realized looking at the games I have queued up for the rental service to send me, I have at least two more "open-world" games in there, namely Prototype and Red Faction: Guerilla. I'm a little nervous about getting those games next, after just finishing inFamous. I don't want to get burned out on the format of being able to run around and take missions all over the place. Plus I may miss inFamous' wire sliding once I'm running around on foot in Red Faction. I suppose I could hop in vehicles in that case, though. I don't know, I'm just afraid of judging a similar game against the one I just finished. Maybe I should move Punch-Out! to the top of the list and be done with it.
