    This weeks episode of Zero Punctuation is Prototype.  He has some good things to say and some bad things.  Want to know if this game is better then InFamous?  Watch the video to find out.

    Glad he didn't take the one side of a game. He did bring up some points that I've noticed, such as Alex's lack of consisantcy in emotion.

    The comment about running up the side of a building and then elbow dropping someone from 200ft makes me want to play Prototype.

    Quite honestly, after playing both these games, I don't even see the similarities. Apart from the fact that they're both about guys with superpowers in an open world, there's NOTHING in common. From the gameplay to the story to the atmosphere of the world itself, everything looks and feels different.

    Nonetheless, I do hope that this stops. All it does it piss people off, for the most part. It just basically boils down to a fanboy flame battle more often than not. =\

    I agree - I see close to nothing that these games have in common that butt-loads of other games don't also have (might as well throw Midnight Club LA in the comparison if people are just using "open-world" to bundle them together). And yet when I say this people just look at me and say "NO, they are the same thing, except _____ sucks!" I've actually just started lying to people and saying that I haven't played either just to avoid stating an opinion that will be quickly disregarded and (somehow) thereafter insulted.
