Sucker Punch did something a little different during their summer vacation: They turned Cole McGrath-the electrically-powered hero of the development studio's best-selling Infamous games-into a blood-sucking vampire.

I suck at being the bad guy in video games. I always get all invested, and then I'm hardly ever able to commit to being evil. But for some reason, Infamous 2 has become that game that's made it so much fun for me to be bad–-and I have those annoying guys that drum on pails to thank. More »

Why? Because the PlayStation Network is still offline, naturally, making it really difficult to beta test. Sucker Punch says on Facebook that the extension period is still TBD. We'll know after PSN returns. More »
