Cole McGrath, the lead character in inFamous, is something of an anti- hero - and I like that about him. Sure, he can rescue hapless survivors of the catastrophic explosion that rocked Empire City (triggered, ironically, by the mysterious package that...

A friend once told me that I should always sleep on major decisions because waiting until the morning supposedly helps you from doing anything rash. Its the middle of the night now and I just beat inFAMOUS, so Im about to write my review of it before I go to bed. I should probably take my friends advice and let the anger and resentment I feel towards the game simmer down a little before I write it up, but screw it: Im on deadline. Note Well, judging from the early comments, it sounds like s...
