After another break, I jumped back into InFamous tonight.

First I played a side mission (good side) where I had to protect a police station from an assault, and then I played a story mission where I had to protect the prison from an invasion (there were a lot of those danged Conduit enemies, but I was actually pretty good at beating them by now).

Played some more InFamous this afternoon.

• First was a Story Mission where I had to go into the sewers to restore electricity to the last third of the second island. Got a new power during this mission, the Polarity Shield (now I don't have to worry about those machine gun turrets).
• Next was a Side Mission where I had to find a hidden package.
• Another Story Mission. This time I had to travel along rooftops chasing a helicopter, ending up with a fight against a Conduit.
• Then another Side Mission where I had to find a hidden package.
• Another Side Mission. This time taking out one of those armored buses.
• Finally, a "Satellite Uplink" Side Mission where I had to travel from rooftop to rooftop at top speed, tagging satellite dishes (this was actually the most annoying mission of the day, taking me 5 tries...).

I might finally get a PS3 with the new Lego Batman 3 and Sly Collection bundle they announced. Of course, there's also the iPhone 6 and college taking up all my money, so we'll see.

Played some more InFamous this afternoon! All side missions today.

• First one had me taking down an armored bus.
• Second one had me destroying a bunch of surveillance equipment attatched to the sides of a building.
• Third one had me had me fighting a group of enemies & retrieving seven boxes of medical equipment they had stolen.
• Fourth one had me trying to beat a group of enemies before they could kill a hostage.
• Fifth one had me following a trail, leading to a fight with three Conduits.
• Sixth one had me finding a hidden package.

Got the time to be able to play some more InFamous tonight!

1. A Side Mission where I had to take out an armored bus.
2. A very platforming heavy Story Mission where I had to scale a giant junk tower, followed by a confrontation with one of the big villains, and spoilery story stuffs.
3. A "Satellite Uplinks" Side Mission (where you have to run along & tag those things on the rooftops under a strict time limit.
4. A Side Mission where I had to get the train on the second island going.
5. A Side Mission where I had to rescue one of the "enimes" who was forced to join the bad guys.
6. A Side Mission where you could either be good and rescue a hostage, or be bad and ignore him in favor of obtaining blast shards (I did the good thing, of course).
7. A Side Mission where I had to pull off stunts for a photographer.
8. Another "Satellite Uplinks" Side Mission.

Played some more InFamous tonight!

1. First did a "Satellite Uplinks" Side Mission.
2. A Side Mission where I had to protect a civilian on their way to a locker (ended with a good or evil decision, where you could do the good thing and take his reward offer, or the bad thing and take everything he has by force. I was good).
3. A Side Mission where I had to take a pier from a gang of bad guys.
4. A Side Mission where I had to disable surveillance equipment placed around a building.
5. A Side Mission where I had to take out an armored bus.
6. A Side Mission where I had to find a hidden package (this was the last side mission in "the Warren", so now it's 100% clear of enemies).
7. A Story Mission ending up with a big boss fight on a bridge (pretty awesome stuff).

Dear diary...

Yeah, sorry about all this, it's just that when I play a very mission oriented game like this, I tend to give my thoughts on every mission, lol (I did the same thing with Red Dead Redemption earlier in the year as well).

If it really bothers anyone though, I will stop if asked.

That said, I played a bit more this afternoon!

1. A Side Mission where I had to get a bunch of mecical crates to the ground.
2. A Story Mission where I had to diffuse bombs across the city, followed between a good & evil choice where you had to climb one building or another (if you played the game, you'll know what I'm talking about). Accidentally chose the evil route, but I doubt one bad choice will ruin my rep.

I was able to play some more InFamous this afternoon!

1. A Side Mission where you could be good and heal a guy, or be bad & steal his Blast Shards (I did the good thing).
2. A Side Mission where I had to remove surveillance equipment from a building.
3. A Good Side Mission where I had to capture X number of bad guys alive for the police.
4. A Story Mission where I had to return power to the Historic District, which wasn't hard, just very time consuming (got a cool new power out of the deal, though).

I was able to play some more InFamous tonight!

1. A Side Mission where I had to raid a First Sons hideout.
2. A Good Side Mission where I had to protect a medical bus on it's way to a clinic.
3. A Side Mission where I had to fight invisible enemies.
4. A Good Side Mission where I had to protect a group of parading civilians.
5. A Side Mission where I had to find a hidden package.
6. A Story Mission where I had to travel across all three islands(!) in order to take down a bunch of hot air balloons that were spreading toxic fumes (this was easily the most annoying mission I've played thus far. Not hard really, just very time consuming.

Ugh. Hated that mission.

Played some more InFamous tonight!

1. A Side Mission where I had to go after some bad guys and retrieve medical supplies.
2. A Good Side Mission where I had to escort & protect injured civilians to a clinic.
3. A Good Side Mission where I had to beat a bunch of Dustmen & First Sons who were in the middle of a turf war.
4. A Story Mission where I had to ride on (and protect) a helicopter, and destroy a bunch of cloaked satellite dishes hidden around the city.

Beat InFamous earlier today!

Great game! It's not without it's flaws (especially Cole's "stickiness"), but it does a great job of making you feel like a total bada** (especially once you get all your powers upgraded), that just makes it all the more fun to just go running around the city. Also, the boss fights were a highlight, especially the last two.

Nice! I've considered trying InFamous, but never got around to it. Looks pretty fun.

Fired up InFamous last night and finished up any outstanding Side Missions I hadn't yet gotten to. Now the city is all cleaned up.

Nice! I only have about 20 blast shards to go myself.

Yeah, I have a lot more than that to get, but I don't think I'll bother with hunting them all down. Sure, if I fire up the game to goof off & just happen to run across some I'll nab them, but I'm not going to be all that bothered about it.

I may hunt down the last 16 Dead Drops though, just to flesh out the back story.

I'm thinking about getting Castlevania: Symphony of the Night while it's on sale. Would anyone recomend it? How well has it aged?

It's only one of the best games in existance. Why do you not have it already?

I think I'll get it then. Wasn't expecting that positive of a reaction. Now I'm looking forward to it. (Whenever I get around to it that is...)
