Prototype previewed by 1UP

Radical Entertainment -- more specifically, Lead Designer Eric Holmes and Senior Producer Tim Bennison -- know they're doing something right with Prototype. They essentially nailed the open-world, destructible sandbox formula in their last title, the oft underappreciated Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and they spent yesterday's Prototype: Open World, Open Mind, Next Generation Thinking panel trying to impart some of their more admirable design philosophies to the GDC masses. In most cases a presentation like theirs might come off as cocky, but from what everything 1UP have seen of the game these last two days, it's good old fashioned, well-deserved confidence, and it can only help them from here.

Ranking The Coldest, Most Ruthless Protagonists In Gaming

Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.

I'd like to believe Joel's situation is more about turning into a calloused survivor in a cold-hard world who may have made selfish decisions. Not inherently ruthless.

Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos721d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
