Game: What game are you currently playing??

Yeah, instead you could look up some videos. There is plenty of footage on gametrailers and youtube.

I just started playing Half Life 2 : Episode 1. I got it w\ the orange box when it came out and haven' t tried playing it. Alyx is funny sometimes... "hey gordon... look. It's a combine zombie..... Zombine ! get it ?!"

Then at some point I was in a pitch black parking garage and had to keep turning off my flashlight to let it charge and alyx starts making zombie noises lol

If you leave it off to long she will freak out, also sometimes its a real zombie and she will ask if it was you.

Just beat InFamous, using Good Side's powers. It had an interesting story, but I'm going to go back and play on Hard and Evil.

I've been playing team fortress 2 again. It really is a great game. I have been playing 2-3 hours at a time!

How did you like the game overall? Does it get boring? Does it feel like just a sandbox type game? Been planning to pick it up.

**darkshadow** · Tue, 06-09-2009, 09:11 PM

The game put me on Hard from the get go and I think it was great, though I think it's much harder to play as good since you just can't go and wreck everything. pretty solid game

The game is interesting, at first you are kinda just exploring, but as you continue on the story and get new powers, oh man it's fun haha.

Only problem, the reply value after you beat the game isn't super high, but if you beat the game the first time doing good actions, go back and beat it using bad actions. You get different endings and different cut scenes.

Overall, it was a fun experience, i would definitely recommend it.

Side note: as darkshadow said, put the game on hard and then play it. Much funner than easy or medium.

Prototype

Just watch the video, this game is incredibly badass.

**Ryllharu** · Sat, 06-13-2009, 06:42 PM

When I watched the review of Prototype on gamespot, it looked like you spent the overwhelming majority of the time getting hit with machine gun fire and rockets and then struggling to regain health by absorbing people.

It became clear from this video that whoever was playing during the gamestop review footage just wasn't very good.

Or does it get a lot crazier later on?

Fallout 3 is still a lot of fun thanks to all the mods, but I'm getting a little tired of it, and could use another good PC game. Good to know the port of Prototype is well done.

**darkshadow** · Sat, 06-13-2009, 07:11 PM

The Gamespot and GT review were both playing it wrong I think, yeah at the very start you can't do a whole lot so you eat a lot of damage.
But the thing is, you can buy the shield power pretty much off the bat since it doesn't cost anything, and it works passively.
And afterwards you just get more powerful like every 30 mins. You even get a "health regen" skill.

So far I haven't died once.
No wait I did die once, but that was because at a certain point in the game a certain type of enemy is introduced, this enemy is pretty damn strong and can pretty much follow you anywhere. You actually also have to run away from it to unlock a power to actually be able to fight it, even then it's still powerful enough to kill you in a few hits, but you will get used to fighting them.
I was just a fool and rushed in trying to stomp it. It did all the stomping.

The game actually plays in a prequel kind of way, giving you a taste of the endgame and full powered alex at the very start ( kinda like path of neo), and then alex proceeds to tell the story of what happened in the past days, this is what you wind up playing. But from what I've experienced, endgame alex = unstoppable. I didn't even knew how to exactly play the game, yet wrecked shit left and right.

Haha, hunters right.

I wish there was a PC or even a 360 version of infamous. After getting a taste of both games Infamous just seems way better to me. Prototype is a solid game but its kinda bland. Yeah you have all these crazy powers but something about the way you interact with the world around you just doesn't click for me. Especially in the later part of the game, you're like a god running around in this huge city but you never feel like you're a part of it. Kinda like Superman Returns but it's not nearly that bad. It felt more like a Spiderman game, in fact the entire time I was playing Prototype I couldn't help but compare it to Web of Shadows.

I don't want to appear too negative though. I think Prototype is a good game, I compared it to Web of Shadows and I loved Web of shadows, I just think Infamous is that much better.

Prototype right now - i'm killing boss on the aircraft carrier.

**Animeniax** · Sun, 06-14-2009, 12:23 PM

The gameplay of prototype reminds me of Dead Rising. I think I'll go buy a copy, though I'm really used to the gameplay of DR and want to continue playing it (I've finished it twice already). But it's time for new challenges, so Prototype, here I come!

**darkshadow** · Sun, 06-14-2009, 01:30 PM

Some more footage

This time I focused on showing some of the powers and Street Fighter references, this game is a shit load of fun.

**Xelbair** · Sun, 06-14-2009, 03:23 PM

yeah, but this guy at carrier is annoying, throwing stuff at him does minimum dmg(even with power for it) and if he goes down to like 25% hp you have 1,5min to finish him off...

Hilarious video. If the first video hadn't convinced me, this one would have.

Good thing it just finished downloading.

Indeed. The music made it even better. I laughed at the Blanka roll. I wasn't expecting that after seeing all the shoto moves. I'll probably Gamefly the PS3 version after I send back Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2.
