Man, OWSS09 is simply killing me. Infamous is done (review here), Prototype is about 80% complete, and Red Faction is about halfway in the bag. Of course, I brought this all upon myself, although a dead Xbox certainly hasn't helped the speed of this project. But while we're waiting, what's your take on these games? I suspect few of you are playing all three at the same time, because you're all much smarter than me, but I know many of you are playing one or two of them. So what's your take? Let's hear your thoughts in the comments secion.

LOVE, ABSOLUTELY LOVE, InFamous.
I played about 2-3 hours of Prototype and took it back for Ghostbusters. It was kind of helter skelter with the plot, voice acting/character development isn't the best and the button combonations were kind of a pain in the ass.
It was cool to run up walls and fly around and whatnot with Prototype, but I didn't get the same sense of achievement with it as I did with InFamous. With InFamous, you had to work to climb up a building or get a power, etc.
Plus I really got into the characters and the story (minus Coles stereotypical tough guy gritty voice).
It was the first time in a long time that I was glad to have a PS3 for more than a Blu-Ray player.
(In all fairness to Prototype, the only GTA type games like that, that I like to play actually have GTA in the title)
I just started Red Faction and am okay with it. Not too bad, but by no means was it InFamous. I was really super impressed with that game (InFamous, in case you can't tell.

I made this point in my review, but I think it needs to be restated: Infamous is one of the best games on the PS3 to date. In many ways I was kind of sorry that I was playing it for review, because if I didn't have so many games piled up after it, I'd probably still be playing it. Prototype is... uneven. Every time I start to get into it, it starts pissing me off all over again.

And Red Faction.. well, Red Faction is just great. Starts off a little slow, but I think you'll end up loving it, too.
