Friday frrriiiiiidddaayyyyy.

Friday, usually I would spend my night doing miscellaneous fun things with my bros but unfortunately due to some progress report nonsense, they can't. So that's cool. I left my car parked in the lot beside my house. I'm sort of wondering if it has a ticket on it. Would I be surprised? No. No, not really.

So, two days ago I beat a game that had just come out called Prototype 2. Perhaps you've heard of it. I would like to start out by saying it was literally the best game I've played in 2012 and I'm not sure what exactly could top it in the future. You take the role of soldier James Heller. Which is a bit different from the first game, as the first game you play as a crazy ass scientist that got superpowers by unleashing a virus on NYC named Alex Mercer. Essentially, Mercers virus killed Hellers wife and he was a bit pissed, intent on killing Mercer. You start out in a tank, which is shortly blown right the fuck up and you are the only surviving member of your team in the highly infected Manhattan area. You find out the one who blew your shit up was Mercer himself, and you kindly go slit his throat. Now if you know anything about the first game, you would know that a knife couldn't kill Mercer. Never. He knocks you back, then prods you to follow him. On your little walk, a few of the new enemies attack you. You kill a brawler with a knife. Which is a little ridiculous, as they're giant gorilla like infected, but I can't really complain. It was badass. A more notable experience is running away from a Behemoth. A giant-ass new type of enemy that will fuck you up. Real bad. After all this, Mercer finds you and infects you, turning you into a super-powered crazy fuck. And after a rather painful realization and an escape from a lab, you are now running the streets of NYC, with a small truce between you and Mercer.

I was okay with this. Mostly because I really liked Mercer in the first game. The gameplay in the game is absolutely incredible. The first game times 100. It's just so great, the design is so perfect, the combat is so engaging. I'd recommend it to absolutely everyone. So yeah... go play it...
