Brash and jealous Zeke still pals around with this long-toothed buddy, and the two happily murder the beasts flitting through the city. As off the wall as the story initially appears, it fits right into the universe constructed by the previous two games. He has just eight hours to break the curse, or he is stuck drinking peoples' nutrients forever. A few drops of his precious blood awaken the slumbering banshee, and Cole becomes a vampire in the process.

On Pyre Night, while the citizens of New Marais are dressed as the undead to celebrate some long-forgotten pagan holiday, Cole is confronted by the real thing. Cole is rather reckless since he has been imbued with superheroic powers, and his carelessness leads to big troubles.

Trolling through dank catacombs is seldom a good idea. But the delights overshadow most frustrations, making Festival of Blood another solid entry in the electrical franchise. The empowering movement controls clash with punishing combat scenarios, resulting in an uneven experience that constructs artificial roadblocks to your rampaging enjoyment. Festival of Blood is a stand-alone experience that encompasses many of the highs and lows of inFamous 2. New Marais has never looked as haunting as it does during Pyre Night, and a wealth of collectibles give you plenty of reason to investigate this brooding burg. He feasts on the innocent while striking down the undead with his electrical fury when they try to drive a stake through his heart. Ambushed by the vampiric version of this folklore figure, Cole is transformed into a fanged monster of the night. Brave children utter these words to summon a ghost in their bathroom mirror, but Cole McGrath doesn't have to resort to such measures to make her acquaintance.
