If you haven’t seen “Power Trip”, the latest trailer for PS3’s inFamous, stop whatever you’re doing and watch it now! Make sure your shoes are tied on tight, because your socks will try to fly off.

Probably in a gesture of post-easter benevolence, Sucker Punch and SCEA have moved the release date for PS3 exclusive inFamous from “sometime in June” to May 26. Wait, isn’t that 7-Eleven’s job?

I have to admit that preorder goodies have improved much from the time of crappy t-shirts and cheap little booklets. Now, gamers who preorder the upcoming Sucker Punch title Infamous will receive an exclusive in-game power. Crimson Lightning Pinkie! That’s not actually what it’s called, but it should be.

Open ended gameplay is in. Sandbox games? You better believe they’re the shit. It doesn’t seem to matter if the plots suffer (GTAIV, Ass. Creed, etc), or the gameplay is repetitive (Crackdown, Just Cause, etc), sandbox games sell better than a hot ham sandwich to a guy who enjoys hot ham sandwiches so much you’re concerned he is actually having sex with them.
But, if there’s one thing the industry likes giving the sandbox treatment more than criminals, it’s superheroes. In the last few years we’ve seen A half dozen Spidermen, a Superman, a couple Hulks, and a supercop duo free-roaming around. To name just a few.
Prototype and inFamous are two upcoming games looking to continue that trend. Both of which have just released new videos at CES ‘09. Check ‘em out after the jump:
