The original Infamous game – released way back in the dim dark ages of 2009 – was a surprise hit, coming essentially out of the blue as a PS3 exclusive and a fresh take on the concept of the reluctant hero. People are usually cautious about new IP, bu...

Everything in Infamous 2 is cleverly interconnected. If you neglect side quests, the city will be less safe (making the game more difficult) and you’ll have fewer skills to purchase. Neglecting to collect Blast Shards gives Cole less electricity to wor...
