The original Infamous game – released way back in the dim dark ages of 2009 – was a surprise hit, coming essentially out of the blue as a PS3 exclusive and a fresh take on the concept of the reluctant hero. People are usually cautious about new IP, bu...

The life of a superhero isn't exactly the Life of Riley. No matter what good deeds you do, you will be the subject of ridicule for many. That guy who wears his underwear the wrong way. The anti-social in the office who sleeps 9 to 5 and then hangs ou...

inFAMOUS is arguably one of the most fun games of this generation. Just like its sequel, it puts you in the shoes of Cole McGrath, a bike messenger who is imbued with electrical super powers. The catch is, this was caused by a huge explosion which kill...

It might seem strange to complain that a game that sold over one million copies and has a Metacritic score of 85% never had the sales or the acclaim that it deserved, but when that game is inFamous, it’s a valid point. Why? Well, if you’d played it fo...
