I definitely shouldn't have played this game at my age considering how brutal it is. But Prototype fulfilled that dream of running/flying around a open city that has only been matched by the modern Spider-Man games. Except in Prototype you don't play a hero.

Sadly a game completely unavailable in my region (Germany), with the sequel only existing as a censored release, and maybe we could get either to be available or uncensored here.

my mate recommended this game to me for so many years because he and i both like that infamous/sunset overdrive, open world super power games. alas i never got to play it because i never owned a 7th gen console. There is a pc port on steam. but its poorly ported and broken . it just crashes at the menu screen. love to see this title on gog because sometimes when you buy an older game on other platforms its usually broken and unplayable, however when i buy on gog, it just works

This game has one of the worst PC ports ever. However, it's awesome and it's a shame the PC port is so awful. The powers, the Bourne-meets-Venom story, and the open world...I adore it. I've loved this game since I was in college (and it helped me through a rough period) and it deserves to be played.

One of the best openworld games of 360/ps3 Era, this games has one of the best open worlds/freeworld ever made, you are a god in this game. Alex Mercer is one of the coolest characters of games ever made. ACTIVISION completetly forget about this games and destroys the legacy of prototype and of Radical Entertainment. This games is on STEAM, but it's a bad port, we can fix it with mods, but it should runs well in moderns pc. if you can bring back this game and make it runs well, you guys wins the heaven.

The game that redefined my childhood, gave me a good lesson of science 🧬, cool military open world action, superhuman powers and much edgy. Prototype walked so Spider-Man and Batman could run

It's been a while since I've played this on the 360 but this title's an awesome one and I want to replay it again, the story's great and the gameplay was really fun since you fly, scale buildings and throw cars while destroying tanks lol, this title along with the second ones makes for a great franchise and deserves a place on GOG in my opinion. I hope there is a "Prototype III" at some point because that would crazy awesome.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
