So I finished Resistance 2 on normal difficulty.  I have to say, that game is pretty tough on that level.  I considered playing through again on Hard, but I had already received inFamous from Goozex so instead I started playing that.

inFamous is a 3rd person shooter.  It’s not really traditional in that all your weapons are electricity powers you gained from an “incident”.  I’ve played through a good bit of it already.  I wouldn’t say I’m close to finishing it yet, because I’m not sure how much is left, but I have put in a good amount of time on it already.  Even though the main power of your character is his electricity weapons, he can climb walls and fall from great heights as much as spider man could.  There are main missions that advance you through the game, and in between those you can do side missions that get you experience points, karma and clear out parts of the city of enemies.

After playing Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 lately, this one is a refreshing change of pace.  Even though it is essentially still a shooter, it’s a different overall concept.  You basically have unlimited ammo, you can refill your electricity all over.  Instead of having a large variety of weapons, you have one main ‘weapon’ and a few variations on it.  Some other games make different parts of missions more about using a new or special weapon, in this game it’s more about the strategy of going about something.  And the karma factors in too.  I don’t see that many advantages of going for bad karma, you just miss a couple of side missions.  But I don’t think you can easily do both similar to the way you can in fallout 3.  So I’ve been doing the good path.

I don’t have any new games after this one.  I still haven’t finished Killzone 2 so I guess I’d go back to that one.  Resistance 2 has robust online play, but I’ve always been pretty let down by how much I suck and how annoying the other online players are.  Usually kids cussing and each other names.  Who needs that?  I’m thinking of sending it back to someone in Goozex while it’s still worth a little.  600pts is nothing to sneeze at.
