Kombo: Alex Mercer woke up while the coroner hovering over him was lowering a knife into his side to conduct an autopsy. As the tagline for the new Crank movie goes: "He was dead. But he got better."
The victim of some sort of experiment gone tremendously, fantastically wrong, Alex Mercer is infected with a virus that mutates him from a lovable college professor into a destructive beast. Now, we all get the distinct pleasure of playing through what happens next.
Prototype is the sort of game that will send action fans into a state of pure nirvana. From the end of that first cutscene at the coroner's office, players are immediately thrown into a warzone. The game is set in Manhattan, and the island is lovingly rendered. It's not a picture-perfect replication of the Big Apple, but it's close enough to make Las Vegas's New York New York a fitting place for its big pre-release showing. While on the scene, we played through the first few levels, as well as a number of the deeper cuts from later in the game.
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.

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.
"We noticed that the PS3 version was visually crisper than its 360 counterpart, so we'd encourage equal-opportunity gamers to purchase the former."
