"PROTOTYPE, Activision's latest action blockbuster, is set in NY City where the games' anti-hero, Alex Mercer, searches for the truth to his past while battling against the public, military and hordes of infected zombies.
Alex, a military experiment out of control, has the ability to absorb and morph into any other character found within the game to get the information and skills he needs to overcome the enemy."

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.
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).
That was a RUSH! I"m gonna have to get this AND inFAMOUS! 2 different games. inFAMOUS for it's engaging story and replay value, and Prototype because it's what GTAIV should have been!!
I like the karma system in infamous it will keep things interesting kinda like Fallout 3.
This looks like its going to be an another spiderman game where jumping around gets boring quick and its always the same enemies you'll fight but its fun for awhile
F**king hell. I really, really, really want this game. This is like a gory Crackdown meets Destroy all Humans.
Prototype and Infamous are both worthy opponents. Only one machine can play both, you know what it it, no competition there, not from me anyway, I have been planning on getting both since I first heard of each game. Summer is going to be a sandbox stunner of a time.
This could honestly be the best gaming year for me EVER.
I keep telling people don't sleep on Prototype. Even though I'm more excited for Infamous, I will definitely be picking this up as well. Infamous for the story and gameplay and Prototype for just pure carnage and fun.
prototype for the fun factor, infamous for the graphics.
