Infamous

Infamous is the new Action/Adventure title for PS3 made by Sucker Punch, creators of the Sly Cooper series. Infamous puts you in charge of a modern day superhero that has thankfully left his cape and spandex at home. You are left to run free in a metropolis, New-York type city, but whether you'll be a hero or an anti-hero is entirely up to you. Infamous allows you to utilise your superhuman powers the way you want, so it promises a lot of open-ended gameplay. Those familiar with the Sly Cooper series will have gotten used to being both athletic and agile, and from what we’ve seen, this game will give them that type of freedom once more. Our hero has been seen climbing neon signs, standing on skyscrapers and perform impressive jumps, so this game is presenting itself as quite a sandbox. Free-running could also be possible, but there is no evidence yet to support this theory. The extent of your powers has yet to be revealed, but we can guess a few features you will have tucked up your super-human sleeve(Thanks to the one trailer that has been shown so far)- Conducting electricity, mega-jumping, and telekinesis seem to be the order of the day, but the trailer only gave a fleeting glimpse of powerful capabilities. However, super-strength is appearing to be a likely candidate, as the trailer showed a police car being thrown through the air. The release date has not been revealed, but Infamous will be hitting the shelves sometime in 2008.
