The PlayStation 3 hasn't gotten off to a best start in the console race of this generation, as it was severely deprived of high-quality titles, with Sony focusing on other features, like the Blu-Ray player, instead of marketing it as it was meant to be, a video game console.

But it seems that Sony's big black box is finally getting the attention it deserves from developers, as a lot of high-quality titles are scheduled to appear for the PlayStation 3. This hasn't passed unnoticed by various Sony executives that have praised said game lineup, as opposed to the exclusives that are scheduled to appear on other platforms.

One of the biggest games scheduled to be released in the following time period is Sucker Punch's inFamous, a game that promises to deliver a great open-world sandbox experience in which the main protagonist has superpowers and needs to decide whether he wants to be good or bad, each of his decisions affecting the outcome of the title.

Originally scheduled for release in June, the game will now be hitting store shelves on May 26, as the team at Sucker Punch has been working very hard in order to deliver the finishing touches on the title. With the release date now scheduled, the marketing manager for Sony Computer Entertainment America, Asad Qizilbash, has also revealed the goodies that will be deliver to those who pre-order the game.

Gamers who will schedule a pre-order with select retailers will have the chance to receive one of the following items:

“-An exclusive ‘Gigawatt Blades’ Super Power: The Gigawatt Blades supercharges Cole’s arm into an instrument of destruction unmatched by any other melee weapon in game. Although very powerful, you’ll still have to use this weapon wisely, as it takes a considerable drain on your powers. -Limited-edition inFamous costume for Home Avatar - Look like one of the REAPER gang members. -Early access to the official Game Demo. Be one of the first to play inFamous on May 7th.”

Those are some very interesting things that will surely justify pre-ordering the upcoming game for a lot of people. Until the demo and the full game appear though, we still need to wait.
