While some games like Just Cause 2 and Spiderman have gotten showered with praise, Prototype has gone on mostly unnoticed. The sheer fun to be had while playing this game is up there with the best 3rd person action games. It's like God of War meets Crackdown. It's like Just Cause 2 meets Spiderman.  You will not be able to stop playing this game once you've logged 30 minutes in.   
 
You play the role of a Alex, who's somehow woken up with the ability to shape shift and modify any part of him. He can change any part of his body into anything. Even simulate some one else's clothes and physical appearance. Which means you can shape shift disguises. Running up walls, gliding 1/2 a mile, and throwing tanks are all in play.
