ZOMG crazkdown was 8????? And this is 9.2? Well damn, I must trade my copy immediatly.

He may be trolling........but it's true. Infamous looks to be leagues better(just my assessment). Infamous is getting pretty standard AA-AAA reviews right now. The lowest is 83, highest 92. It will land somewhere around 85-95.

I have played the Infamous demo.....it rocks. I think Prototype, but I dont think it will be anything spectacular. The opening of Prototype does make it very interesting.

My prediction was correct!

Neither IMO. Sandbox games are my least favorite Genre so I'm no excited about either one.

Since making video games, isn't painting art, or making music...the most important factor wrt to success of a franchise is sales. It is the least common denominator to determine how successful a brand is...based on week one sales...PROTOTYPE WINS!

Prototype was pretty fun, but its only about 15 hours long. I have not played Infamous, but from the videos i've seen of it, it looks pretty bland.

15 hours...did you blow through it?  I chucked about 4 hours into it, before I left for travel, but I didn't seem to be near completion.

Honestly, some people have only played one or the other, and they are biased, and afraid of the competition of the other game.

In all honesty, after playing both games, they are both great, must play experiences this generation, and I highly recommend them both.

I would have, but....Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio - a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy...no sale from me.

Let me say here you can hardly put me in the Sony fanboy camp, or even pro-Sony.  I am likely considered a critic, and the 360 is my system of choice.  This being said, and also I have not played Prototype (nor am I really interested in it), I can say that I find inFAMOUS an EXCELLENT title, and a borderline masterpiece.  It is a natural followup to Crackdown for me, which I also enjoyed.  I feel it builds on what Crackdown did.

I am sorry, but the idea of being a character who eats people in the game to get skills, blech to me.  You can talk about how awesome the carnage is, but that is exactly what I have issue it.  I am not interested in carnage for its own sake... well, unless it is the latest Red Faction where I can take down about every structure in the game with a hammer.  Now THAT is worth something to me... besides, you play a good guy in that game, not an amoral angry guy out for revenge.
