Express yourselves

Home is one of the most popular online services and has been increasing in both awareness and active people by leaps and bounds ever since it was released in open beta stage at the end of last year. Promising to offer an interactive social network for all PlayStation 3 users, the service has seen a lot of companies open up spaces in it.

Also, many titles have received some customized sections filled with interesting things like mini games or leaderboards for the in-game actions. Now, Sucker Punch's inFamous is the next to receive such a treatment, as one of the Home community managers has revealed on the PlayStation Blog that the space will soon go live for everyone to experience.

While other spaces like the ones for Resistance 2 or SOCOM only let you experience some parts of the real game, this new section, entitled The Abandoned Docks of Empire City, will have a scrolling shooter called Reaper Shock where players will have to deliver jolts of lightning to their enemies and compete for the highest score possible.

Another way through which inFamous fans can express themselves is a new graffiti mini-game where they can use a variety of tools and other specialized items to create unique content and have it sent to friends so that everyone can vote. The best works will be prominently displayed in the space and their creators will receive exclusive inFamous apparel for their Home avatars.

Also, the news post tells that Ubisoft released a patch for Far Cry 2, making it possible to launch the game straight from the Home space dedicated to it.

Overall, some interesting changes and the inFamous space is looking extremely good. Look forward to more content for Home in the following weeks. Until then, you can check out this video about the space dedicated to Sucker Punch's game.
