Here's a quick update on the gaming front.
SPLATTERHOUSE
On a whim I started to play usagi704's TG-16 and finally beat the game with his assistance on the final boss. A day later I was able to beat the game without help and without continuing! This puts the number of games finished for 2009 at 43!
Now hopefully I won't have to wait as long to get through Splatterhouse 2.
I was at a loss for the next big game to play. Usagi mentioned that he was going to play Infamous so I figured I would too.
INFAMOUS
The first thing that I noticed with the controls is that the right stick for camera control is much quicker on the default setting than any other game I've played to date. It's not a problem as you get used to it very quickly. It's just something that I noticed right away.
Currently I'm 50% completed with the game with the rank of Hero. Other stats include the following.
40 Powers/Upgrades
59 of 84 Districts
22 of 32 Dead Drops
76 of 350 Blast Shards
12 of 21 Stunts
There's some cool powers within the game. They usually resemble guns from other games like a sniper rifle, rocket launcher, grenades, etc.
Something that the game doesn't really tell you is that draining electricity not only refills your power cores (works like ammo), but it can also help heal faster instead of waiting for it to recharge on its own.
I also found it helpful to shoot drained power boxes to refill them so that you can in turn reuse them right away.
Thanks for stopping by!
