Overview
Description

Infamous puts you in the shoes of Cole MacGrath, a bike messenger turned conduit of electricity, as he battles a devastated city and its factions. The game blends high‑octane combat, platforming, and moral choices that shape the story and the world around you. Explore a living, reactive metropolis where every decision influences powers, allies, and the city’s fate. With a mix of shooter mechanics, free‑running traversal, and sandbox freedom, Infamous delivers an unforgettable single‑player adventure on PlayStation 3.

POSTAL casts the user as a nameless surrogate character brought to the breaking point when his home in Paradise, Arizona is unjustly repossessed. Believing the repossession is part of a demonic conspiracy to dominate humanity, he unleashes relentless vengeance across 17 distinct locations. Navigate through a small town to a heavily guarded military complex using a third-person premeditated perspective. Employ strategic combat tactics against armed locals in this intense indie action horror experience developed by Running With Scissors.
