I'm playing InFamous. Not as good as the reviews suggest. Its like a poor man's Prototype.

Prototype=Blood and gore and awesome conuming other people, and grabbing them by the face and running around while they flap in the wind like a flag in the breeze.
In short it's hilarious.

INfamous is like prototype without the hilarious.
Which means it's boring.

I thought prototype was shit too, I hate hack 'n' slash games, they're good for 5 mins then they just get repetitive and tedious.

Prototype is a pretty average game, but you can mess around which means it's good for idling time.

A shit game would be Kameo.

I was surprised when I saw this was put out by Sucker Punch, the same team that put out the Sly Copper series. I think I would have preferred another Sly game, except done better than the others. Sucker Punch seems to following the same route as Naughty Dog when they had forsaken Jak and Daxter to concentrate on Drake's Fortune, a more adult oriented game. Personally, I prefer the more cartoonish "kid's" games. They're more fun. These more violent gim and gritty games bore me.
I did watch my roommate play the new Drake's Fortune game. It didn't look too bad, and there was some humor in it. Entertaining dialogue. And Farscape's Claudia Black does the voice acting for the female character. That was cool. In fact, I wished I could play as her. She was a far more interesting and appealing character than the bland Drake. Boring Drake aside, if I had a PS3, I'd prolly be playing this game.
On the other hand, I watched my roommate play inFamous and was bored to tears after about ten or fifteen minutes. My roommate was having trouble with the controls and camera at one point and was getting very frustrated. This immediately turned me off. Also, the game seemed to be nothing more than a GTA clone with some superhero shit thrown into the mix. Without GTA's wry sense of humor, though, it just fell flat for me.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Tattchu, wait for your flatmate to unlock her as a playable charcter then you can go her for the full game.

Bad news...my PS3 needs repair AGAIN! It no longer reads any discs... :cry:

So basically...when I first bought Uncharted 1 close to two years ago...my disc drive laser (I suspect) died the first play session I had with it. It was sent in for warranty repair and now with Uncharted 2 on my second session the disc drive laser has died again. The warranty has passed...
Hopefully I will be able to fix this without paying Sony $150 to do it.

Uncharted games hate me and love destroying my PS3s!

No, that's just because you have a ps3.

I also have an Xbox 360, which are known to more failures. What irks me is that mine has been fine all this time. My luck is the other way around. I don't use it nearly as often as the PS3. I'd rather the 360 fail on me instead.

The PS3 fail-rate is actually statistically higher than the x-box. That's fact that is.
Anyone, everyone knows the Wii is superior to both for it has Brawl.

Higher than 360? Even with the Red Lights of Death that were thought to have as high a rate as 33% failure? I find it hard to believe. I have a Wii as well as Brawl but it is the least used console.
