For your sake, you better mean the PS3.

Also, @cubsfan101, exclusives are better than non-exclusives most of the time because the developers can have everyone working on one format instead of several, so either buy the Infamous PS3 bundle or play some 360 game, like Gears of War

Would anybody recommend this game over Killzone 2????

i have not played this game and dont have a ps3o only an xbox 360, but i seriously think this game should have gotten a better score from wat i've heard about it. prototype is great, but is not like infamous(from what i heard). besides, prototype is more chaos driven, while infamous is story driven.

and really, GR, comparing it to a game that's not out yet? i lost some respect for you guys wen i saw that

@ LittleTaco
frankly i would recommend throwing your money off a bridge over Killzone 2, though i would also recommend you get a second opinion

lol my friend was saying how great a game this was but i played it and saw how boring it was.

LittleTaco: Hard question, but I'll say yes. Infamous is overall a better game for a patient player who likes to know his character and why he's doing his missions. If you're an FPS player then Killzone 2 is without a doubt your choice.

Wow I havent looked here in a long time but I see you have addressed me and even though you may never see my reply, I feel obligated to return the favor...is that also from my OCD or could that be plain old fashioned manners?
First off I noticed you liked the look it up comment I made to another brainless wonder somewhere in here and so you decided to use the same phrase as a tip of your hat to me? Thats wonderful but I am not amused by it, I think you probably were the only one that was. It was a great example of your wonderfully playful originality. Bravo.

The numbers are coming from a website called Metacritic.com (look it up haha see what I did there?) This site gets reveiws from all over and after a weighting process averages out the scores for a total aggregate score. I had thought the purpose of comparing all of the other scores on metacritic to this one was painfully obvious, but I forgive you if you didn't follow the logic.
It's to show how far off this reveiw was when compared to all the others. (Is this stated plainly enough for you to follow?)Do you perhaps need me to send you an outline on this so you will know which section in my reply contains the reasoning you seek?

What reveiws are based upon (fact, emotion,opinion etc.) is totally irrelevent. The fact here is that these reveiw scores affect what people buy, and in turn how game development compaines do, and in turn what kind of games we see as gamers.

Also by the way you wasted quite abit of breath claiming I used a false analogy for this, because I was never using an analogy to compare reveiws.
Just so you see what I mean here is the quote from my earlier post.
"It is actually the basic principle behind acuracy now that I think of it. Imagine a bow and arrow target. The goal of being accurate is to get all of your shots on that target in the same general area, I believe this is reffered to as a grouping or a "tight grouping" which means that if you had 5 shots, that all 5 are very close to one another. Do not confuse this with being precise which would mean your shots are on the bullseye. Anyways imagine now that 4 of your 5 shots are very close to each other, but one of the five has landed clear across the target almost off the target. This is an in-accurate shot. This is what I am saying, this reveiew is the arrow on the very edge of the target. Because this one arrow is so far off perhaps there was a strong gust of wind? A faulty arrow? the reason doesn't even matter the point is this one arrow is so much different from all the others that its result can be thrown out to keep the data sets integrity intact. "

This is comparing the scores of the reveiws, not the reveiws themselves. Also finding fault in this in-accuracy is absolutely correct to do, the data set (the scores of the reveiws) determine the margin of error. As you should be able to see here I am NOT analizing the data (or reveiews) I am simply pointing out that the data from this site is outside the margin of error because it is in-accurate and as good as a non-result. I wish I could elaborate more on this for you but I really gotta get going, I did enjoy this convo tho spectre, have a nice day.

From metacritic: inFamous- 85, prototype- 80. I think that speaks for itself and that, while this site might not think so, inFamous is the better of two, still very good games.

Wow people are still going all out on this. Everyone needs to really think about it like this. Because hes a "Professional" He cant have a biased opinion. Even though everyones biased on one thing or another.

I knew someone would think Prototype would beat you Infamous! Finally some people that actually know crap about games. Prototype was FUNNER, Infamous was REPETITIVE in my words. I think Metacritic should learn something about what's good and what's not. I believe the 7.5/10 for Prototype should be switched with the 9/10 for Infamous.
