Release of the Week: Prototype (360, PS3, PC)

prototype_manThis week’s biggest game is easy to pick, and not just because the only its biggest competition is a Rockband port to the PSP. This week we finally get to see Prototype, possibly the most anticipated game being released this summer. I hope you have made time in you schedule, because come Tuesday everyone (old enough to play M rated games) should be playing Prototype.

Prototype is an open world game about a spreading infection and its impact on New York City. You play the part of Alex Mercer, a man who has a unique and deadly case of the infection. Throughout the game you can choose to either help the military combat the infection, become a champion of the infected, or pay no heed to either side and cause terror as the ultimate killing machine.

Like inFamous from two weeks previous, this new IP is breaking the sequel trend that has been dominating the industry. Prototype is sure to offer a unique gaming experiance that will keep us playing through time and again. These two summer hits are what superhero games should be, but fail to come near.
