Ok, everyone knows that the summer is never a good time to buy console games...
Usually they are all junk names, or games that are made around a movie... (GhostBusters)
I mean seriously? have they run out of ideas...

We all know this fall has some major titles coming out, "Modern Warfare 2", "Halo:ODST", "Assassin's creed 2", and a wary title (mixed opinions here) "Left 4 Dead 2"...
So it was wise for [prototype] to release when it did...

[ProtoType] doesn't compare to these other brilliant games and wouldn't have stood a chance, but as a summer release, [prototype] rules!

The story is junk, and there is no multiplayer functionality, but if you like open world gameplay, and tons of gore this is definitely a game to pick up...

It has kept me entertained ever since it was released... I finally got around to completing all the story missions, and I'm now restarting on the harder difficulty...

I would literally spend hours just traveling from one military base, to another military base slaughtering everyone in my path....

The game is a third person, kill everything, type of game and takes place during a virus break out in new york city. You play as Alex Mercer who has these devastating powers but no memory of who he is, how he got this way, or why the military is trying to kill him. Through out the game you must consume various targets in order to "remember" who you are and progress farther in the game finally finding the one person responsible for all of what happened.

You can increase your character's strength with EP (evelutionary points).
with EP you can buy upgrades that can make you run faster, jump higher, move swifter in the air... or even buy new weapons of mass destruction that you can turn your arms into...
From claws that shred apart everything in there path, to a giant arm-sword that cleaves bodies in two...

This awesomely gory game is not for those who want a story, in fact the story comprises completely of kill this and kill that, and if you do the story directly, it doesn't take very long at all maybe 5 hours for the better players out there...
with only 31 story missions, most being "go here, kill this, run here, kill that, escape to this point, done" it does not take long at all to complete.

But there are many side events, including "consume events (consume a target and do the designated task, from consuming multiple more targets to destroying an enemy base)"; "sprinting events (collect all the land marks as fast as you can); "war events (help a side {infected or military} destroy the opposing forces)"; and many more...

The whole game makes you feel invincible, where you gain health by consuming people which kills them... so... kill people... gain health... become invincible... but you are able to die, and on the harder settings most likely will... you will be having so much fun slaughtering everyone that you don't notice the 100s of bullets slowly eating away at your health... believe me, it's happened to me on a few occasions... for those of you who have played the game you know exactly what I'm talking about.

A very entertaining game for the summer, and if you have the money you should go out and buy it...
For those of you who haven't seen the video yet...
