Love the Linkara cameo.
I remember seeing this game way back in 2007, and then looking forward to it so much. 2 years later, all the hype has worn off, and now I'm not sure if I'm even going to get it. Might rent it.
Great review, Lee, glad to see another video.

Like you, I wasn't much aware of the hype so I haven't expected much, but I have been informed that it looks fun as hell.
And to end this comment: Super Mutha F#@KIN DEATH VAMPIRE GOD!

The place that cuts your hair burned down? The smell must've been awful...
But a great video even without Linkara in it. Which means having him there was just icing.

You like what reviewer yahtzee croshaw made sucker punch studios do to alex. Zero punctuation for the win man.

Linkara cameo and Street Fighter reference earns a epic win in my book, dude. Good work and Good Luck with your hair troubles.

Why does no one (except Bennet) even mention inFamous???
These 2 are begging for a comparison... And even that pony pic of Mercer is from their rivalry...And in the end, after playing Prototype, I found it really fun, but inFamous had the overall better design of everything (Powers, not-too-cliche story, more lively city)
So, Lee, if you haven't played inFamous - go check it out...

Because bennet has a PS3 but I'm not certain about Lee because I don't think he's ever reviewed a game for it. Same goes for Joe but I'm not sure. Besides the games look similar in play but work differently. I don't think they are as much alike as some people make them out to be.

Great review Lee. As for comparing this to inFamous, forget it. They're different games. Both great, but completely different. About the only common things in both are super powers and a city to use them in, ie., pretty much like any similar games.
Comparisons are for butt-hurt console fanboys that wish desperately for more people to agree with them that their favorite is "better".
I say play them both and enjoy.

prototype huh?, how long it will take till some douche pop up with:
"duuuh, you should check out infamous - its better"ups - too late already happened

well you see guys - not everyone have ps3, on the other hand you can play prototype on PC, ps3 and x360 - so prototype is already a winner in my book...
btw - hilarious review

Damn, you stole my idea!
http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/blog/9357Was pretty obvious though, so I won't hold it against you
Fun review, awesome game.

I had Linkara's cameo done in late June. I was hoping to release this episode around that time, but two other reviews of Prototype were coming out so I held onto it for a few more weeks.
Awesome video!

I thought Alex actually sounded pretty angry... though it was funny, because I find rage hilarious.
I especially love when he kills the boss and just yells out what everyone else who ever played the game thought: "GREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENE!"
Which is still more emotional than whatever that piece of wood Bale was trying to do as Batman, but I disgress.
The graphics aren't that bad, it's a fun game, you did a great review with plenty humor, great work.
Edit: The story's pretty good, if you give a damn about stories in games. Which I do.

Ah come on, Lee. Conspiracy storylines can be fun. What about the Metal Gear Solid series? I'm sure that the story in MGS is better than the one in Prototype though, so I'll give ya a pass on that one.

I soooo want a PS3 and or a X-box360... my Wii just isnt cutting it.

Glad to see reviewing 52 comics in only two videos didn't fry Linkara's brain... hmmm...
Anyway I loved the Macho Man reference with the flying elbow on the tank! OOOHHH YEAH!
I hate when I forget how to surf on corpses too. I haven't tried it in prototype yet though... ah gotta go!
