PlayStation Home gets a shocking new addition

The inFamous Space is announced at E3, bringing a taste of Cole McGrath’s struggle between good and evil to PlayStation Home.

Announcements came thick and fast at the Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. press conference at E3, and among them was the news that Empire City, home to Sucker Punch Productions' superhero blockbuster inFamous, is coming to PlayStation Home.

PLAYSTATION 3 owners can don their Cole McGrath or Reaper outfits and enter the decaying metropolis from the PlayStation Home World Map.

Once inside, they can chat, check out the latest updates to the inFamous blog or test their powers on a brand new mini-game, Reaper Shock. As cardboard cut-outs of the game's enemies appear, you must aim the targeting reticule with the left stick and fire bursts of electric energy. For bonus points, you can split the reticule using the right stick and control both independently for twice the shock value.

Check out the inFamous Space and join the PlayStation Home community in Empire City.
