Manhattan has always been the center of all forms of disaster in the media. From the Die Hard movies to the web shooting Spider-man comics, this concrete jungle of historic landmarks, such as Time Square, serves as a backdrop for Activision’s latest game “Prototype.” What makes “Prototype”’s disaster scenario stick out from the rest of the flock is its sheer magnitude – you’ll see buildings destroyed and burned, piles of bodies littering the streets, crushed taxi cabs occupying the sidewalks, and the military performing questionable acts to maintain order. While this sounds like a delightful concept for a sandbox action game, is it worth it? Read the rest of this entry »
Hey kids, I finally have a mega badass “Prototype” trailer to show you. The game, which has had a somewhat rocky development cycle, seems to be coming along nicely, but details on its story have been fairly mum… until now. The trailer, which shows protagonist Alex Mercer tearing up the streets of New York, offers a lot of good details on what to expect from the games story. While the main premise is a tad cliche – Alex wakes up and has no idea who he is or why he has powers – the supporting characters seem rather interesting, and it looks like there will be a lot for gamers to figure out once the game hit stores shelves in June.

If you’re one of those gamers that was hoping to someday see a sequel to “The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction” you may have to wait a little longer, but if you can settle for a spiritual successor, then you might be in luck.

#14 on TGH’z Top Black Video Game Characters list goes to Marcus Reed of True Crime New York City.
Before GTA thought about bringing open world video games to the NYC, a little game called True Crime developed by Luxoflux for Activision, followed up their sleeper hit True Crime LA with an NYC version. I personally think they did a better job recreating Los Angeles as that game was pretty much street for street like the real thing. Maybe it was a rushed job to create NYC, but they took some liberty (no pun intended) with the geography of Manhattan. The streets are longer for instance and there aren’t that many landmarks.
With the console market already a very crowded place with three different consoles serving the needs of three (mostly) different demographics, what would happen if a fourth company released another console? It seems like the answer simply would be that the market isn’t big enough for four consoles and it would be destined to fail. However, what if that company was already one of the biggest companies in gaming, and that already has a firm hold on a sizable percentage of the gaming industry? What if that company was Activision Blizzard?
