There are very few games that drop you straight into such high octane beginnings the way that Activision's Prototype does. You begin this free roaming action game in the middle of a Manhattan ravaged by a mutating virus, surrounded by infected citizens, mutant creatures and the military all of whom are fighting for survival against each other on the now quarantined island.
The action of the first few moments of the game only begins to give some idea of what lies ahead as you take on the role of Alex Mercer, a man who wakes up in the morgue of GENTEK, a mysterious genetics laboratory, with no memory of how he arrived there nor his life before he did so. Mercer quickly makes his escape and begins to discover that something has happened to him, which has manifested itself in the form of incredible shape shifting super powers which include amazing strength, speed and the ability to consume living beings which then allow him to morph into their appearance and even experience their memories. Alex sets out to discover what he has become and swears vengeance upon those responsible.

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
Movies and games have always had a closer connection. There has been an increasing trend in Hollywood to transform successful games in movies. While most of them have turned out to be disasters lik…
