InFamous shows huge potential, but it’s ultimately held back from greatness by too-sticky controls and its surprisingly bland ruin of a city. It’s still fun, but there’s a lot of room for improvement in the strongly hinted-at sequel.

Open-world superhero games and plot-altering moral decisions are nothing new by themselves, but stick them together and you’ve got… well, you’ve got Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.

@mrl64: Don't worry, there are still plenty of upcoming PS3 exclusives (MAG, for instance. If you don't know what that is, I think that Game Informer had an early preview for it in their Assassin's Creed 2 magazine, which you could back-order if you didn't get that mag at the store or in the mail a few months back) that look good enough to buy the PS3 just for them, but I still buy 360 games if they aren't exclusives for PS3, though I do use it a whole lot just for Blu-rays.
@LukeFoxy: COME ON! DON'T INSULT SUCKER PUNCH! this game CLEARLY said at the end: "when the evil world destroyer shows up, I will be ready". This has a 90% probability that there will be at least one sequel (although it would be hard to get better electrical powers than an entire lightning storm) and a 10% possibility that they simply meant that in a game-closing "Good job, bye-bye now" kind of way.
