inFamous - Bourne to be Bad

Today a posted a new video on my YouTube channel.  It is a quick sample of gameplay from the first Infamous game on PS3.  You can watch it here: (apologies, I have since removed this).

I have so far found the game fun to play and there seems to be plenty to do.  In one mission it was quite hard to find the locations I was supposed to be visiting but generally it has been well signposted.

This is one of quite a few PS3 games I've been posted sample videos of lately.  You can find a link to my YouTube channel in the left column of this page.

One PS3 game I have played lately but will not be posting a clip of is The Bourne Conspiracy.

The Bourne films contain intense fighting and shooting and great improvisation by the lead character.  Think of the first film where JB is in a house in a remote part of France and looks around to find a shotgun and ammo and then shoots a propane tank to create a plume of smoke and moves around a wide area under the cover of it.  In the second film he fights using a rolled up magazine as a weapon.

In both scenes you are given the sense that if these improvisations had not been available he would have thought of something else; as you are at other points in the trilogy.  The Bourne Conspiracy features no choices or opportunities for using initiative.  Just linear and clumsy shooting and fighting.  I cannot recommend it.  The only proviso I would make to this is that I could stand so much and no more so have not played the game to the end.
