Infamous
9/10
The good: Great graphics, good story, solid and intuitive controls.
The bad: Side missions can be a little repetitive, karma system
So far, Infamous has been my favorite game to come out this year. It's just been an absolute blast from start to finish. On my second go-through right now. First time I played it was a good guy. Now I'm being a bad guy. The only issues I've had with it are you basically repeat the same four or five side missions throughout the whole game (each island with their own special side missions), and I don't like how the karma system only goes from absolute saint to baby eating SOB. But other than that it's absolutely awesome. Oh and the ending plot twist just blew my freakin' mind.
Bionic Commando
3/10
The good: Solid controls (with exception of aiming) and great graphics
The bad: Horrid story, worse acting, swinging can take some time to get used to.
I was extremely disappointed with this one. It looked so awesome, but Capcom failed to deliver. The visuals are amazing and it has some really cool moments during gameplay. However, the story is absolutely miserable with one of the worst plot twists and endings I've seen in a game (on par with Army of Two in both regards). The acting and dialogue are laughably horrendous while the controls are pretty good, I found aiming to be pretty slow. It's really not a complaint, but the game's swing mechanics were somewhat difficult to get usd to. Oh and the whole idea of activating those minefields to advance got extremely tiresome. This game wasn't worth the rental.
