Game of the Month...Dec.09...Prototype
Another military expiriment!

Prototype is one of the greatest games I have ever played.Not as good as Assassin's Creed or Halo 3:Odst,
but still really good.

Playing Mutant Shift-Shaper Alex Mercer,you can go around and expore the huge Manhattan Island,consuming(kind of like eating brains.)to take their appearance and memories,to
help you uncover what happened to you and
recover you past life.

The main narritive story line is quick paced and fun, and stepping off of it...
a variety of sub-missions
(Mini-games using a specific power) and Consuming events
(kill the people to help the web of intrigue).

I do like how you don't fight only
certain people,seeing how you fight
other stupider,uglier zombie-like mutants
and a military squad called 'Blackwatch'.
But it does get annoying fighting off
super-strength monsters and getting shot at the same time.
One of my favorite parts is flying and driving.
Helicopters and Tanks are just super fun.
Getting into a helicopter is easy,but the
tank...not so much, seeing that you have to go through an annoying button-mashing game where enemies can either chip away at fire at slowly chipping at your Alex's health, or firing a explosive, while you can't do anything.

If you can get past those few annoyances, it's a great game.
