Hello

Has anyone played Prey yet? It's out here (Atlanta) and just wondering if I should get it before I come home later today.

Thanks,

Steve

It got a rare 5/5 on gamer tv here on sunday so it must be alright. Can't trust them 100% though, they have been known to get it wrong sometimes.

I've played the demo on both pc and 360, didnt play too well on my old pc but looked and played well on my xbox 360.

I'll be getting it (hopefully released here this Friday)

Played the demo. Good innovations with regards to the physics and the walking upside down stuff.

Not the most intelligent of games but certainly worth a purchase.

Hello

Okay, I bought it and I'm back home now. Really tired, but loaded it and it runs slow on my PC!

Looks impressive though.

If you have a reasonable spec PC it should be OK????

It uses the Doom 3 engine which has been around for a while now - albiet with a few tweaks here and there.

You can tell the different engines just by looking at the games IMO.

Hello

So I've been playing this for a while and it is okay. The story is good, there is too much swearing (adult games are fine (I love Postal 2!), but swearing means I can't have the volume that loud whilst playing), and the weapons are not that different. Puzzles are good though.

Only down side is I completed it in a day, the online play is good tho

It's doom3 again... story on rails, enemies randomly popping out of portals (as opposed to walls), easy 'puzzles', a bunch of ammo and health power ups just before a big fight... all the same as doom. Shame really

They didn't exploit the 'mystical powers' bit which could've made it more interesting... the bit where the old guy yells "use their weapons against them" just seemed a sell out to me. Kind of "we can't be arsed to develop the 'native american' angle any more so go shoot some stuff"

It's okay. There are some good graphical bits, but games should rely more on the storyline and develop the character more rather than splash fancy dyson sphere bits around and wait for you to go "ooooo....." alot.

I'd agree with Kieran - its all pretty shallow and its obvious the game's roots go back 5 years or more. Other aterniatives:

1.Half-Life II, Episode One - enjoyable

2.Best game I've played this year was Hitman Bloody Money - especially the end

top game!
