InFamous 2 (PS3)

InFamous 2 is a 2011 open world video game made for the PlayStation 3 console. It was developed by Sucker Punch Productions and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. The game was announced way back in June 4, 2010 as a direct sequel to 2009’s Infamous.

The title uses a modern day world setting where it is quite ordinary for people to have super human abilities, which are called Conduits. The Ray Sphere Device unlocks and triggers these abilities in humans who have the Conduit gene. Cole MacGrath’s electric-based abilities have been unlocked but his home, Empire City, has been left in ruins. This event has been instigated by an alternate future version of Cole called Kessler. Kessler is just trying to better prepare Cole for the Beast who has caused the death of his family.

The first time Cole fights the Beast, he was no match. The fight had significantly weakened him. Cole, his friend Zeke and NSA agent Lucy Kuo had to escape while the Beast pursues.

The game will ultimately require Cole, therefore the player, to make a choose between fighting or joining the Beast. His choice will decide his future as well as others’ futures. In the end, he may even survive a wrong choice but with evil in his heart.
