Commonly mistakened for DLC, inFamous: Festival of Blood is actually a standalone PSN game exclusive to Sony's console just like the first two games. Developed by Sucker Punch to take advantage of the lucrative Halloween market, this game see's Cole McGrath turn his electric powers on the creatures of the night and vampires.
The game starts off with Cole's best friend and one of the highlight characters of the franchise Zeke impressing a big boomed chick in a far by telling her a tale of vampires in inFamous 2's setting of New Marais. That's where you as Cole McGrath come in. As Zeke tells the tale you act out his story, it's quite a nice idea and does come together quite nicely at the end. The story see's Cole turn into a vampire, he must kill the head of the vampire's 'Bloody Mary' before the night's out or forever be a creature of the night.
One thing I must point out is that this is unmistakenly inFamous 2 with vampires. The slick controls and all Cole's moves are there for the most part. Some of the moves are dressed up a bit to match the tone of the story, like Cole's melee weapon the Amp being replaced by a cross but all in all this is inFamous in all it's glory.
The major criticism that I have about the game is length. I beat the game in a bit an hour and a half and had received every single trophy within three hours. While it was short, I must say I really digged getting back into inFamous, even if it was for a short while. It gave me a taste of playing the sequel this summer and reminded me just how fun the world of inFamous is.
If you love inFamous downloading this is a no brainer. But even if you haven't entered the world of Cole and Zeke perhaps this small download will give you a decent amount of time to decide if you want to go back and sample the main games.
