Infamous 2

If you haven't played the first one you're not really missing out as far as the story is concerned. The gaming engine for the game seems to be updated greatly since the first one as well. You still play the character from the first game (Cole) who has the ability to control electricity. However this time it is set in a New Orleans based city. To strengthen his abilities, he needs to find the Ray Sphere which is believed to have started everything and given everyone their abilities (or their problem).The main problem with the first game however is that it was very repetitive and because of that it made the game boring. However Infamous 2 developers announced that it will not be no where near as repetitive as the first one.

 Regardless this game looks pretty good. A open world environment with the power to control electricity. I'd be zappin' everyone for whatever reason I want. One thing that is really cool to point out is that there is a good and bad way to finish the game. Based off your actions it determines what side you end up joining, it also changes the way you look.  From what I understand it also depends on what future abilities you may or may not learn (fire or ice). I have actually got a chance to play the demo at Bestbuy in the video game department on the PS3. With all the freedom that Cole gets to have, I can tell this game is going to have a high replay value( if you do all the side-quests). Here is a link to see a video of Infamous 2:
