Forget Grand Theft Auto 4, check out "Prototype". Skid along streets using dead bodies

[DS1]

as human surfboards

In the middle of it all stands Alex Mercer. Like so many of his fellow citizens he's been infected by a virus, but this particular strain has given him special shapeshifting powers. He can "consume" other people and take on their appearance and abilities. He can turn his body into a weapon - transforming his arm into a giant claw, for example, or causing huge spikes to burst out of the ground and impale anyone standing in the wrong place. And he has parkour-style movement skills, including the ability to run up buildings, jump between skyscrapers, glide for short distances and, best of all, skid along streets using dead bodies as human surfboards.

All this might be quite a laugh if Alex wasn't being hunted down by Blackwatch, the military force established especially to deal with the effects of the virus. And if he could remember who he was, and knew where his missing sister was, and why and by whom he's been infected. To find the answers Alex must consume people, thereby gaining access to their memories.



awesome!
