Maybe Wario was just having a bad day. Maybe he was beaten one too many times. Either way, now he's pissed. It's Highlight Reel, the show where we round up great moments from around the gaming world and put them all in one easy-to-find video!
Well, Kirk wasn't a fan in his Infamous: First Light review so let's play the opening half hour and see what happens.
Electric Lady: Here's some spiffy new concept art of Fetch, the star of the PS4's upcoming Infamous: First Light.

There's a PlayStation mural outside of E3. It features PS mainstays in boats, a parody of this George Washington painting. I was picking out who was who with a friend. "It's Infamous guy! It's Claire from Resident Evil! It's... a basketball player!" Then a security guard walked up. "I only recognize one of those…
Flames coursing around my arms, I look at the Seattle police officer standing before me. He puts his gun on the sidewalk and raises both hands in the air, shaking his head. I can accept his surrender or not.
Seattle is a great city for foodies, even if those foodies are super-powered fugitives from corrupt justice. The fake food-obsessed Paul Yan of Enjoy the Bits captured scenes of Infamous: Second Son at its tastiest.
Back when the PS4 and Xbox One were announced, "next-gen" meant a lot of things to a lot of people. Smarter games, bigger games, different games, more ways to play with your friends. But it also meant that games would look a whole lot better.

Yep, Infamous: Second Son looks really nice. Last week when Sucker Punch released that super cool Photo Mode for their game, I had a feeling videos like this one would start turning up. And lo and behold, here we are.

We've already pretty well established that Infamous: Second Son is a really nice-looking game. Wouldn't it be cool if we had an easy way to freeze the game in action and really drink in all those shiny graphics?

Remember that nifty update for Infamous: Second Son we were promised at the beginning of the month? It arrives tomorrow, and it's bringing a friend along to help document the occasion.

PlayStation 4 eye-popper Infamous: Second Son already gives players a bunch of in-game superpowers. Run up buildings, fly through the air, vanish in a puff of smoke… but what about the power to change the rotation of the earth??
Boy does Infamous: Second Son look visually stunning—which in a way, makes any glitches you come across all the better. The game manages to look great even when it's messing up a bit.
Infamous: Second Son is the Derek Zoolander of next-gen games: It is really, really, ridiculously good-looking. To put it in technical terms, there are a hell of a lot of graphics in this game.
The creators of the new Infamous game didn't hesitate to put their other big series, Sly Cooper, and its characters into the game as tiny easter eggs—among other funny things you might miss. They're all around the city as graffiti.

It can't be easy, being an innocent civilian in the world of Infamous: Second Son. The government has put your city on lockdown, everyone's suspected of terrorism, and a guy with superpowers just blew up your car. It's enough to make you want to take to the streets and protest.
I thought I Finished Infamous: Second Son. Turns out there's plenty left.
Cute, Infamous. Very cute.
I was worried about Second Son.

You've read the review. You've seen the tips. You may have even see us stream this very game live earlier this week, but this is the Saturday Morning Stream, and we play what we like — and that's Infamous: Second Son.

Today's the day when the latest installment in Sucker Punch's open-world action/adventure series launches up, up and away into PS4s all over the planet. While it resembles its predecessors a fair bit, Infamous: Second Son does do a few things differently than them. Check out the advice below for ways that you can be a…
