  • Abstract:  Having a protagonist in Alex Mercer, Prototype is not only a game that is aimed at men, but it’s specifically made for guys who adore violence and gore in video games. Unfortunately, opting for the clichéd method of amnesia for storytelling, Prototype’...

  • Abstract:  Prototype has a ton of potential, with some solid mechanics and a big world to explore. Unfortunately, that world is ultimately gimped by weak missions and rough combat.

  • Abstract:  At first glance Prototype might seem like yet another open-world sandbox game set in New York City. 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 exp...

  • Abstract:  Prototype weighed heavily enough on my mind that I had a couple dreams of flying and running up buildings. The mobility, agility and speed of the protagonist, Alex Mercer, is second to none. He’s already very powerful at the beginning of the game bu...
