Yeah, that's true of Infamous on the PS3 too. (But, oddly, not of Uncharted 
that I noticed, probably because Uncharted is a string of pearls instead of 
a sandbox.)  It's actually almost distracting.

As well as amusing, when you blow up the gas station, walk 2 blocks away, 
and come back to a resurrected gas station.

Hard to say. Can you really decompress jpeg on the GPU?

True. But still, it's hardware whose primary purpose is rendering graphics.

It's more like "Gee, every other game manages to have really sophisticated 
graphics and stuff like geometry for window ledges instead of just being 
painted on. I wonder what I'm doing that I can't get 1000 flat walls drawn."
