Prototype Screen Shots And Gameplay Full Of Death And Destruction
Prototype is looking at an April 1st release date, on the PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360. Hopefully it’s not an April fools joke.
In the game you take on the role of Alex Mercer, a shapeshifter, though he doesn’t know how he became this way. He can take on the forms of other people and when he does he takes their memories as well, and as you do this you unfold more to the story of the game.
Check out 2 sweet gameplay videos HERE! You’ll have to fight your way through the age gate to see them. I’ll be posting up some more videos from the game soon so check back there periodically. Read past the break for some screen shots.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
