2009 was my first platinums with kz2 and infamous and killzone was a lot harder because you had to place in the top 1% of global players that week in multiplayer. I think the only thing I struggled with was finding a big enough group to slam down into but inFamous was otherwise pretty easy. I got the game and a guide for my birthday (along with the Chinese/English import of Demon's Souls ^_^) so I was able to just put a transparency over the map of the shard locations and just check them off with a marker when I got them. And yeah a lot of the side challenges were repetitive but they were so damn fun I didn't care.

InFamous is definitely a case where it might not be an unsurpassed artistic achievement in gaming, but it sure is one of my favorite games on PS3.
