If Prototype seems familiar to you, don't be surprised. Anyone who played last generation's The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction (also developed by Radical Entertainment) will immediately recognize most of Prototype's key mechanics, as many of them are ripped, unchanged, straight from The Hulk. While the core action was great fun ...

But what is the... prototype?

Prototype arrived ridding a wave of hype, but does it deliver its promises or does instead drown in them? The game tells the story of man, Alex Mercer, awaking in the morgue, with no memories, and a question on his mind:"Who did this to me?"In the meantime, Manhattan is put under ...

The Type of Game that I Love to Borrow.
(

[Prototype] is the type of game that I love to borrow. There are moments when you are scaling sky-scrapers, destroying tanks, hijacking helicopters, and you feel like an elite, über antihero. And there are moments when you have to do lame repetitive missions and totally suspend your disbelief to swallow the ...

(

Radical Entertainment's Prototype is bags of fun. The game clearly identifies itself as a Jack-of-all-Trades, which means that if you enjoy open-world games, you're almost guaranteed to find something you like in here. The downside is that Prototype may have over-stretched itself, because while there are many aspects to ...

I beat Prototype yesterday on Normal difficulty. I ended up playing for another hour afterwards, and then started over in New Game +.

I hate myself for finishing Prototype. I really do. Here was a game that was begging not to be played, in spite of the time (presumably) normal people spent designing the game’s dozens and dozens of incoherent video cutscenes, recording hours of voice work and crafting numerous story-specific missions. ...

Prototype came into the world alongside the PS3 exclusive InFamous, which, upon first impressions, looked like basically the same game, but better. I'm going to get out the way early that I have not played one second of InFamous, and therefore this is the last time I will refer to ...

So... Prototype... Prototype is another open-world game where you play as a sadistic weaponized super-virus in a city during a vicious outbreak of some unknown contaminate(aka swine-flu) that consumes everything it touches and seems to have a mind of it's own. Staring a new protagonist Alex Mercer you'll be able ...

Since the character of Frankenstein, scientific tinkering unleashing a dangerous superhuman into the world has stirred a frightening idea. To amnesiac Alex Mercer, this doesn’t exactly frighten him, though it does frenzy him through the streets of Manhattan on a quest for discovery. Ironically, Alex uses his ruthless arsenal of ...

Like many Videogame Characters, Alex Mercer has suffered memory loss.

Although it shares a few similarities with inFamous, this game is mostly different, and ...
