I'm about halfway through the second island in inFamous 2 and things are going fairly well without too many hiccups. I did just now run into this funny little store on the first island called "Red Ring Electronics" which claims "All Systems Repairs in only 12 Weeks" which was kinda funny. :P Although I appreciate some of the postive tweaks like getting a slight boost when you activate your gliding ability making transitions from wire to wire a bit more possible, the game hasn't really improved enough things and some opponents seem almost kinda broken and/or really terribly designed. It's not that it makes them insanely hard, just unnecessarily protracted and awkward. It's nice that the enemies aren't quite as psychic as the first game though and they can't seem to hit you from a billion miles away like they could before.

I dunno...plunking along mainly relying on my old school powers.

Yays I finished up my "good" playthrough on inFamous 2 electric boogaloo! :) Since I found everything and did all the attrition trophies except for one involving killing a 100 innocent folks I suppose it's time to ratch it up to the "hard" mode and play it being evil.

I'm cruising through inFamous 2 on hard playing through being all evil n' stuff which is kind of relaxing because you don't have to watch out for collateral damage concering the citizen which the game seems hell bent on making you accidentally killing anyways no matter how you're playing. Almost got the first island done and much like the first inFamous hard mode just seems to mean you get less experience for stuff so you have to grind a little if you want to bother to buy every ability.

A few friends came over and one of them brought over his copy of Alice: Madness Returns for the PS3 and I played through the very large first chapter and a little bit of the second. It's an action/puzzle platform game with a lot of character and while the puzzle platforming part isn't particularly challenging, the combat can definite get pretty hectic as you quickly get forced into having to manage all of your defenses and attacks pretty quickly. I still got to finish up inFamous 2 on hard, but I generally only seem him once a week so I have plenty of time to finish it off before I pick up where I left off in Alice.
