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.

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.

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.

Its because of this game I found jacksepticeye and then opened my eyes to the world of yt gaming and made me fall in love in games it's because of this game I am doing a game design course right now and most importantly they don't make games like this no more man this was a special game.
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.
Ever since I was a teen I liked it, and I appreciate it even more as an adult. Unique story and gameplay experience that deserves much more and better than what it got.
I've played this game when i was 8..i was an innocent silly girl and literally understood nothing about the game but nonetheless played it for hours!!..and i still do..my childhood game and my future game..hope we actually get Prototype 3 one day..stay hopeful people,we might actually get it one day
Those games also need your vote!

Clock Tower II: The Struggle Within
Clock Tower II: The Struggle WithinClock Tower II: The Struggle Within, known as Clock Tower: Ghost Head in Japan, is a PlayStation point-and-click survival horror game and the third installment in the Clock Tower series. It was developed and published by Human Entertainment on March 12, 1998 in Japan and later published by Agetec on October 31, 1999 in North America. It was released as a PlayStation Classic on the Japanese PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3 on May 9, 2012. The game is a spin-off story with little to no connection to the story of the Barrows/Burroughs family or Scissorman, nor was Hifumi Kono involved with it. It does not take place in Europe as many of the others do; it takes place in Osaka, Japan. In the North American version, the setting was changed to Salinas, California, and the characters were given Westernized names. However, untranslated Japanese can be seen in the hospital entrance and even in the intro, there are Japanese-styled buildings, including a Shinto shrine. The game also contains various Japanese-styled rooms and samurai armor.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Shadow the HedgehogThe world is in peril as forces, both good and evil, make a play for the powerful Chaos Emeralds. In Shadow the Hedgehog, you can control Shadow and choose which side to fight for. This 3D platformer lets you use weapons, vehicles, environmental objects, and time and space manipulation to combat your foes. Although it is a 3D platform game as with the more recent Sonic Adventure games, the game's levels each feature up to three different missions (Hero, Dark, Normal) that the player may choose to complete. The game's plot depends on which mission is completed as well as subsequent playable levels. The game stars Shadow the Hedgehog and his quest to recover his memory, a goal he has been pursuing since his debut in Sonic Adventure 2, while an evil alien race known as the Black Arms is invading the planet.
