      Surely everybody has desired to have the power of a god at some point in their lifetime. One can imagine running at unimaginable speeds, having the strength to pick up cars, being able to fly, or maybe even for some - transforming into whatever it is you want.

...And that's why I like the game [Prototype].

Oh yeah, and it's practically like fighting against zombies.

Hello, I'm here again not only because I have to be, but also because I could probably rant for hours about the vidja. 

For my first post this week, I think that this game is a little bit more interesting for those who appreciate a good story-line, god-like powers, and violence.. 

..Lots and lots of violence...

Okay, so for starters, you play a character named Alex Mercer. 

You have been taken to be experimented on by the strong militant army Blackwatch to become a super-soldier

(Blackwatch vs. Infected)

Why?

To fight the deadly infection imposed by yet another human experiment.

(Sounds like a great idea right?)

Problem is-

You don't want to be a lab rat. So what are you going to to naturally? 

Break out of course!

(You would think they would figure out testing on human subjects doesn't work out in their favor, right?

So, naturally as you escape, you are being chased by Blackwatch who constantly shoot and fire their weapons, yet you don't know why they don't do much damage..

You know nothing of your repressed power..

YET.

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Where's all the cool stuff I said in the beginning of the post?

Well when playing the game, this is all good and fun.. But explaining is quite a bit more boring. 

SO.

In order to spare you, I'll skip to the part where you start discovering awesome stuff!

You later discover that you have been injected with a genetically modified version of the virus.

As you develop your powers through various hard and strategical bosses, you basically mutate the virus to your own liking.. Which comes in pretty handy.

1. Claw Arm? That's pretty cool!

Yeah.. But it gets better.

2. Sword Arm? Hell. F-ing. Yes.

Probably the main one you'll use if you play.

3. Oh yeah, rockets? Pffft. 

Yep, you're virtually indestructible.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4. Fall damage? 

Nah. No biggie.

This is actually pretty cool, because the higher you fall the more of a crater you make on impact.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5. Super speed...

Cars don't stand a chance..  

6. Hurdles?

Yeah, let me just jump off this car real fast. Easy.

(Why not just be a track star?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Right, so there you have it!

I purposefully left out some powers as to not to spoil the whole surprise.

The game has a pretty solid story-line, and unlocking powers is a part of that.

Overall, [Prototype] is easily one of my favorite games..

Got some built up anger? Just go ahead and kill some zombies.

Like all the other games I've talked about I definitely recommend this one for the team.

Its just great.. So play it.
