    Honestly its a stretch right now from a 360 perspective. A year ago it was the other way around. New exclusives, ts really not close if you take out bias. 360 does still seem to be getting the DLC right now though. The other thing is to look at the games on the horizon. The biggest are either multi-platform or PS3 exclusives for the most part. Again I'm not saying the games suck on the 360 or bashing it, but the PS3 has the better games currently. Thats my take.

    So back on topic, I went ahead and picked it up today. I traded in some old games I don't play to cut costs. Its pretty cool. I played for a couple of hours and realized its getting late. Question for those that have it, does absorbing the life from a downed foe have any benefit aside from Evil Points? I don't like leaving those Reapers alive, even if subdued. I don't want to totally be a pansy!

    Man, I feel like a nerd. :p It is fun though. Definitely recommend it. Its funny because it wasn't a game that was on my radar, but the demo and reviews pulled me in.

    Its definitely a fun game...a friend of mine picked it up and so we played around on it for a bit, so I havent really had a chance to sit there and play for hours. But, from what Ive seen, its definitely a game I will pick up.

    Btw, I have both systems...I do believe the PS3 is starting to take over. The exclusives are just coming along more often and they seem to be getting better. If I had neither system and I had to choose one, I'd hit up Sony. I would have said 360 a year ago.

    I'm steering away from the 360 vs PS3 talk.

    You also refill your energy meter when draining foes of their life. This comes in handy if you're in a spot with not much electricity around you. If you do it 100 times you get a trophy as well.

    I've had this on my radar for awhile due to Sucker Punch's Sly series, and so far it's not disappointing other than a few repetitive side missions. I just opened up the Warren district after completing 100% of the Neon District, and I'm curious how the missions, side missions, and enemies will play in this new area.

    I wonder what the difference between this and Crackdown is.

    Thanks. I haven't gotten to a point where I need it yet. The times I'm close to death and there are still enemies I usually end up dying. I will do it for the trophy though.

    I also have to say that the story is taking on a new twist that I'm looking forward to. Without getting into spoilers, I'll just say the voice in my head.

    Yeah I just got to that part when I had to run errands. After a slight lull in the story this part piqued my interest again. Can't wait to see how it plays out. I have to say the controls in this game are the most impressive i've seen since COD4.

    My only issue with them is sometimes I want to fall to street level and get to close to an object and end up grabbing it.

    Also the junkyard conduit was a pain and I had to get online to figure out how to beat it.

    I'm liking it too. Got it a few days ago and this is the first chance I've had to play it.

    Well, I just finished the game. I felt very overpowered by the end of the game. Ending definitely left a room for a sequel.

    I finished the game as a good guy. I am debating whether to play the whole thing again as evil.

    I finished the game in evil mode last night, and I have to say I enjoyed the game immensely. I'm going to replay as good and am curious how the story differs. I'm looking forward to picking up the platinum trophy on this game.

    Oh, and for those collecting blast shards, there are 2 hidden ones. One is in the northeast corner of the Neon district. It's on a set of piers between two square buildings. It doesn't show up on your radar if you're on land. The other is at the very top of a super tall building by the blast site. It doesn't show on your radar until your halfway up the building. I was stuck on 348 for the longest time until I stumbled on these last two.

    Where do you see the number you have already? Also I'm down to one section in the Historic District that I can't find missions for, any tips on what to do? Its where the blast went off.

    Man I tell you what, I just firgured out that you can upgrade your powers. I was pretty much able to max out as soon as I realized it. I've almost done on good. I will be going back and beating it evil style next. The story is surprisingly good too. I'll probably wrap it up tonight.

    I was tempted to switch sides after the Trish thing, but didn't. Damn yous Kessler!!! Zeke is dead to me as well.

    When you go to save game, the save slot will give you the game progress information.

    That last section is the blue one. It's not a side mission section.

    Some of the areas require to kill one of the baddies, then you do a blast shard hunt. That was the last section I had left too, and I had to run around for 10 minutes before some dudes showed up in the parking garage.

    Damn. I figured that's what it was as well, but no one ever popped out. I'll try it again.

    I have done the hidden package mission in the garage already. I still have the area just behind it that I need to clear. That area is Ground Zero. I'll try Zboy's advice and finish the last mission. I just don't want to beat it without clearing the whole island.

    Scribo- You walked around every area until you found the shards? Thats a lot of patience.
