October 26[edit]

I need help looking for an old action game  [edit]

I do not remember what he was called. I played this game between 2011 and 2012 on the Xbox 360 game console. I think this game came out in 2010 or 2011.

It was a game like tsp but without guns. The main weapon was something that looked like an electric stick (with a blue sheen) and sometimes the person could fire electric bullets from some facility that was mounted on his hand.

It was possible to climb buildings there, Ski on power poles, Pick up cars with the electric fixture in hand and throw them away.

At the beginning of the game the enemies were like soldiers with yellow clothes and red marks, but later there were monsters that looked like a spider with a human head, and some mega monster reminiscent of a little gorilla.

Please, if anyone can help me, or refer me to a website or YouTube channel that can help me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.142.54.57 (talk) 18:20, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

AHA! After a half hour of searching, I think I found the game based on what you gave me. I hope I'm right: Is it Singularity? If not, let me know. I'd appreciate if you could give more info if incorrect, such as genre, plot, etc. Le Panini (Talk tome?) 01:47, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Le Panini Unfortunately, this is not this game. The game was third-person, not first-person, and was a bit reminiscent of Assassin's Creed's game. There were no guns or pistols there at all. Just the electric stick. The hero would go and fight alone. Other details I remembered: It was not possible to enter the buildings, just climb on them. The town and suburbs were probably located on an island. In one of the first sections of the game, the protagonist destroys soldiers' positions on a building, and releases some professor. He takes out of some box a kind of blue electric tank, then puts it in the body and gets more power. After that the bombs start and the hero travels quickly on power poles until he reaches a certain place. I have a hard time remembering that it was 10-9 years ago. The game may have been released between 2010 and 2012. I will try to recall more details. Thanks for the help! 37.142.54.57 (talk) 19:15, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you tracked it down 37. Here is a link to the wikipedia article if any readers are interested Infamous 2. MarnetteD|Talk 19:24, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
It's always a good eureka moment, to find that one thing in the back of your mind. Sorry I couldn't be much of help. I guess what threw me off was the XBox 360 part, as that's all where I looked. Le Panini (Talk tome?) 11:53, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
