Prototype Hits June; New Trailer

PC, PS3, Xbox 360

Activision Publishing has confirmed that the open-world action thriller video game Prototype will ship to Australian retailers on June 10, arriving in stores shortly thereafter. To celebrate, we've got a new story trailer that you can download at the bottom of this article.

Prototype lets gamers feel the power of being the ultimate shape-shifting weapon. You are the titular character - Alex Mercer - a genetically mutated man without memory, armed with amazing shape-shifting abilities, hunting to discover what created you and determined to make those responsible pay.

As Alex, gamers tear through a densely populated contemporary New York City moving with Parkour-style fluidity, consuming anybody that gets in their way, and assuming their physical form, memories and abilities. Fuelled by a three-way war between Alex, the Blackwatch (military) and a viral outbreak known as the Infected, players venture into a deep, dark conspiracy forty years in the making.

The official website has the first half of the game's intro cinematic, so head on over and check it out. Prototype is currently rated MA15+ and will be available for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

This game sounds a little too messed up - Consuming ppl and taking their memories? Thats just wrong....
