Prototype is brilliant. It really is, I've been playing it so hard over the last couple of days that I've actually finished it already (don't worry about that, I played it for 8 hours just on the day I got it), and I'm going to actually play through it again, which is a treatment reserved for the most stellar of games.

So, if you've been looking to get in on the visceral and gory action, you'll be happy to know that Prototype has actually been patched. We forgot to mention it earlier because, well, we were busy running up the side of buildings. You have no need to worry anymore, so long as you're connected to the internet you should have no problems.

Now go and buy the game, it's worth every penny. You can expect a review on, let's say...Sunday.  Read more »

Prototype doesn't pissing work. Or so reports say from people in America and European people who have been lucky (maybe) enough to get it early, anyway. Apparently, it says there is insufficient space on the hardrive to install game data (about 700mb of it), regardless of whether there's actually enough space there or not. 

Thankfully, whilst Activision may have dropped the ball here, they have, at least, supplied a workaround. All you've got to do is, well, free up another 700mb and try to start the game again. That's pretty self explanatory, but if you need it phrased condescendingly ('This can be done in a number of ways, including the following...' you can go over to the question on Activision's FAQ. 

Yeah, this is a game that is buggier than Fallout 3 - you can't even start it. It doesn't seem to affect everyone, though (much like how the Fallout 3 bugs didn't affect me), so maybe you'll be lucky. Still, until they get a patch out, which they say will be released 'shortly', what's 700mb? Most demos are bigger than that. Read more »

You owe it to yourself to go and watch this trailer. It's highlighting 10 extremely convincing reasons to buy Prototype, Radical Entertainment's upcoming sandbox superhero game that is likely to be brilliantly action-y and violent. Seriously, you can run up a building, launch yourself off of the side and slam your giant sword-like arm through the top of a helicopter.

It's looking great, get watching that trailer. Read more »
