"Two minutes of total chaos is the real goal of this event -- kill as many enemies as you possibly can." That's how Radical Entertainment's studio head Kelly Zmack described the objective in one of Prototype mini "event" missions. GameSpy has been intrigued by this promising title -- which features shape-shifting, hoodie-wearing protagonist Alex Mercer, open world, action-amping gameplay, and a government conspiracy that'd tax Jack Bauer's brain -- since first spying it in the summer of '07. And while their recent brush with Mr. Mercer still left them craving some actual hands-on time, it's difficult not to be sold on Prototype's potential when discussing it with Zmack; with an infectious enthusiasm, he drops words and phrases like "intensity", "emotional rollercoaster", "chaos", and even "magic fairy dust" when describing the game and his team's dedication to polishing it to perfection.
Spiffy:
* Polished presentation
* Slick disguise mechanics
* Immersive audio
* Intense ultra-violent combat
Iffy:
* Still no hands-on time leaves GameSpy wanting more and wondering if it can deliver
From Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Batman: Arkham City to breakout hit Dispatch and new Marvel Cosmic Invasion, these are 10 of the best superhero games you can play today.
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
Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
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.
