Poor infamous. This thread needs more Linkzg.
infamous may be my favorite PS3 game, but I wouldn't recommend it because:
a) it will be free on PSN soon(er or later) and I'm assuming he hasn't bought these games yet
b) inFamous 2 is out in under a month
as good as infamous was, it was almost entirely because of the incredible mechanics. The game doesn't really have memorable set pieces or sequences you had to play. Watching the cutscenes on youtube and starting with Infamous 2 is probably the better choice. Improved mechanics, better city, much better visuals, etc. Again, it's like Zone of the Enders 1 to Zone of the Enders 2 level of jump, and there is a reason no on talks about ZoE1 after ZoE2 came out (or before...but I like ZoE1 a lot too; didn't even buy it for the MGS2 demo!)
Plus with the user generated content, people will probably remake infamous 1 in it, which is mostly possible.
Both Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls are getting sequels this year too, but those games are packed with memorable stuff. Neither Uncharted 3 or Dark Race will make the prequels less relevant.
I voted Demons Souls. I'm planting seeds so Sceneman will feel accustomed to the tre pad and buy Dark Race for it. He will defect from the Xbros.
