Dear Sweet Infant Christ...I hope there are enough copies left when I get there!

Worth it, definitely. Especially considering PSN is down.

@Steve R Settle down Sony Defense Force, he's just saying that it's good to have a single player game that doesn't need online at all. And I agree. If Sony is smart they will do some similar price drops on other single player greatest hits titles to keep people happily playing their PS3s.

@Steve R You get downvoted for a network counter-comment but not for calling infamous "great"? Oh the humanity.

I never did get to play this. The demo's camera control is what turned me off. For 10 bucks though, it's definitely worth the risk. Thanks 'stiq.

It's basically a generic third person camera control... how can that turn you off? Unless you don't like third person view...

why is Joystiq turning into SlickDeals?

@noobtube
because some people on here don't check SlickDeals and they (the Stiq-monsters) want us to save money while still attaining amazingly fun games.

I've never heard of Slickdeals either. The only video game related site I check is Joystiq. So it's nice to be informed of these great deals. Also, what do you mean "when"? Joystiq has posted deals ever since I have been here, and I have been here since before the fanboy merger. Don't know why you're bribing this up now of all times.

Yeah typical story, except for the hyper-plot-twist at the end.

You mean when he finds out that Bruce Willis was dead the whole time. I loved that part.

OK twist my arm. I will play this game.

I may pick this up and try it again. I wasn't that big of a fan when I first tried it. But for $10, I'm willing to give it another shot.

Same here. I played it when it first came out at a friend's place and never bothered with it since, but really, for 10 bucks... I'll buy it. Solid deal, indeed.

I should probabally finish this game, but I'm still pissed that I was at the end and my PS3 thought it was funny to erase my saved data.

Totally caught me off guard! Best story ever!

I've always wanted to play this. If I ever got a PS3, this would definitely be up there on the list of Stuff to Play.

Great game, and for $10, a great deal.

If you haven't yet, pick up this gem for $10 and get prepared for the sequel.
P.S - I can't find the last blast shard for the life of me. So frustrating. :(

I still remember the last one I found. Even using a map guide, trudging around the city, I only needed one more, and I just kept passing right over it. It was up in the metal sculpture of a globe (or solar system) or something outside of a park area, I think.

My last one was on a rock out in the ocean right outside your buddy's place. I actually didn't see it on my mini-map. I was just riding the train and I saw the blue glow in the ocean. Of course there are 350 places it COULD be so just keep looking I guess lol

great game for that price but the climbing controls are clunky as hell, and the the infamous 2 beta wasn't that much better...I am actually worried about it tbh.
compared to the climbing controls of the uncharted and assassins creed games it has a long way to go.

Hrmm I don't know if I have a copy or not. If not I might as well pick it up, worth another play at 10 bucks - so long as it isn't the greatest hits copy.

What's wrong with the greatest hits copy?

Right there with you. I don't even like to buy used, because sometimes the booklet is torn or the case has weird smudges...

@Anticrawl I understand. Although my OCD makes me prefer the greatest hits versions because I feel like it is a "fresher" copy... if that makes sense. I think almost all gamers have OCD, welcome to the completionist’s generation.

Very fun game. Not too hard to plat, the only difficult part was finding all of the blast shards (which you can "ping" for if you're close enough to them).
Posted: May 12th 2011 5:53PM SoCoolCurt said
man it says in store pickup only when i go to it online and none of the stores close to me have it. that sucks, i wasn't sold on it from the demo but it was fun enough that i would get it for $10.
Posted: May 12th 2011 5:53PM Calrissian said
Unfortunately it looks like it's not available for shipping, only in store. None of the stores in my area show it available. Too bad... would have picked it up either way.

This is a good buy. Heck I bought the game at full price and I thought it was worth every single penny.

I'm not trolling but I thought this game was silly. And the plot twist? Oh my. I'll take Prototype anyday. Commence downvote.

I'm sorry but why?
Why would you remove all the fun and skill with lock on?
It works for stuff like GTA etc because shooting's half the appeal and should be fairly easy, but lock on in infamous would stop me from doing any of my favourite tricks I've done in my time with that game.

Only available in stores, no shipping... and of course when you search stores, it isn't available at a single store anywhere in Austin...

Too bad my best buy doesn't have this in stock. Plus no shipping available=lame. Too bad would have been nice to use my gift card I received from my portal 2 purchase.
