Jonathan Cullen, GOONL!NE: "It seems that since 2007 with the release of Crackdown, sandbox games are all the rage. Sucker Punch recently released inFamous for the PLAYSTATION 3, now Activision release Prototype and Ruffian Games are currently developing the sequel to the reigning king of the genre, Crackdown 2.
But for now, we must do with Prototype from Activision, where you play as Alex Mercer. As you start the game, Manhattan is in chaos as it seems to be gradually infected with a biological virus as the game progresses. You rewind throughout the game to piece together how it all started, but it all starts with you, lying in a morgue when your suddingly wake up. Something's happened to you, you're amnesiac now and dont remember a thing. Then out of nowhere, you realise that you've been infected with a different strain of the virus which you can use to your advantage.
Story aside for a minute, is Prototype worth £40/$60?
Simply put: no."
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.
cheers 4 the new bookmark
If a 7/10 is not worth $60 then what is?
