Played the shit out of Heavy Rain and inFAMOUS 2 today.

inFAMOUS 2 is one of the best games I have ever played, probably second only to the utter masterpiece that was the first BioShock. I'm serious. Like I've played the Crackdowns, I've played the Prototypes but none of them truly give that sense of power like this game does. When I was riding with Nix I may have been evil but I was also UNSTOPPABLE, the world was ours and it was GLORIOUS. I actually stopped myself going full on darkside though, when the game gave me a second chance. Currently I'm on the second stage of being good, as the game makes it a LOT easier to play as a good guy. Plus I got Ice Powers out of it, which is pretty damn awesome.

Meanwhile Heavy Rain is probably the only thing to treat women worse than sentai but on the flip side the sheer amount of ridiculous action sequences in Heavy Rain keep it entertaining, and I can't think of many games where I have to down a bottle of vodka, make myself sick, then get in the shower while imagining I'm inside a forest, all to detox from a made up drug. Plus it really does feel like the game is coming together, which is nice after it meandered so much at the start.

Probably gonna trade in Uncharted tomorrow, and maybe pick up Resistance Fall of Man as that is a PS3 exclusive, and then maybe grab the Amazing Spider-Man tie in game as I've been meaning to play that for ages and I've really enjoyed the superhero cashins recently, like the Captain America one, the Green Lantern one and the Wolverine Origins one. Bad movies seem to make great tie in games.

Also grabbed MotorStorm Apocalypse off of eBay so it should arrive this week hopefully.
