I've played so many games set in Manhattan that if I were to ever go there I'm sure I could navigate the city with ease, and even though much of my experience in the Big Apple has been as Peter Parker, that web-head has nothing on our latest anti-hero, Alex Mercer. In fact, if you were to break down the character of Alex in both abilities and gameplay style, you are going to find an inclusive mix of themes including but not limited to; Wolverine, Hulk, Spider-Man, Venom, GTA, Mercenaries, and Mirror's Edge."
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.
The game is amazing - a must buy.
if you have not played inFAMOUS, it's easy to say that prototype is an excellent game.. notice how this review said " Wolverine, Hulk, Spider-Man, Venom, GTA, Mercenaries, and Mirror's Edge." when, clearly, this game is very similar to inFAMOUS (open-world super-hero sandbox)
now, if you played inFAMOUS, you'll realize that prototype is a POS..
it's like saying that the ford taurus is the best car in the world because you haven't driven a ferrari..
haha, xbots have fun getting stuck with your mediocre games
I just finished Infamous and had prototype on pre-order. But now after playign InFamous, Prototype feels like crap and the controls are really wierd. I don't know I'm probably wrong, I've only played through the first couple chapters or something. There is still a lot of powers I have to get. Here's hopen for the best, but InFamous just really raised the bar for superhero sandboxes DAMN.
You can watch the first 8 minutes of gameplay at msxbox-world.com.
Watching that helped me make up my mind to buy the game. It looks quite good.
