I definitely shouldn't have played this game at my age considering how brutal it is. But Prototype fulfilled that dream of running/flying around a open city that has only been matched by the modern Spider-Man games. Except in Prototype you don't play a hero.

my mate recommended this game to me for so many years because he and i both like that infamous/sunset overdrive, open world super power games. alas i never got to play it because i never owned a 7th gen console. There is a pc port on steam. but its poorly ported and broken . it just crashes at the menu screen. love to see this title on gog because sometimes when you buy an older game on other platforms its usually broken and unplayable, however when i buy on gog, it just works
This game has one of the worst PC ports ever. However, it's awesome and it's a shame the PC port is so awful. The powers, the Bourne-meets-Venom story, and the open world...I adore it. I've loved this game since I was in college (and it helped me through a rough period) and it deserves to be played.

Sadly a game completely unavailable in my region (Germany), with the sequel only existing as a censored release, and maybe we could get either to be available or uncensored here.

Its because of this game I found jacksepticeye and then opened my eyes to the world of yt gaming and made me fall in love in games it's because of this game I am doing a game design course right now and most importantly they don't make games like this no more man this was a special game.
One of the best openworld games of 360/ps3 Era, this games has one of the best open worlds/freeworld ever made, you are a god in this game. Alex Mercer is one of the coolest characters of games ever made. ACTIVISION completetly forget about this games and destroys the legacy of prototype and of Radical Entertainment. This games is on STEAM, but it's a bad port, we can fix it with mods, but it should runs well in moderns pc. if you can bring back this game and make it runs well, you guys wins the heaven.
The game that redefined my childhood, gave me a good lesson of science 🧬, cool military open world action, superhuman powers and much edgy. Prototype walked so Spider-Man and Batman could run
It's been a while since I've played this on the 360 but this title's an awesome one and I want to replay it again, the story's great and the gameplay was really fun since you fly, scale buildings and throw cars while destroying tanks lol, this title along with the second ones makes for a great franchise and deserves a place on GOG in my opinion. I hope there is a "Prototype III" at some point because that would crazy awesome.
Ever since I was a teen I liked it, and I appreciate it even more as an adult. Unique story and gameplay experience that deserves much more and better than what it got.
I've played this game when i was 8..i was an innocent silly girl and literally understood nothing about the game but nonetheless played it for hours!!..and i still do..my childhood game and my future game..hope we actually get Prototype 3 one day..stay hopeful people,we might actually get it one day
Those games also need your vote!

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Silent Hill: Shattered MemoriesSilent Hill: Shattered Memories is the seventh installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series, and a stand-alone reimagining of the original Silent Hill video game. Once again, you will cast Harry Mason searching across the haunted town for his missing daughter Cheryl. Through his exploration, Harry will come across objects and recordings that tell some of the history of Silent Hill. New to the series are a depiction of Silent Hill's demonic alter-dimension as a world of ice, and the removal of weapons from the game: when the monsters come out, Harry must literally run for his life. Between scenes, the game will cut to a psychiatrist's office, who asks personal questions about Harry and his past experiences. The game will then alter itself based on the player's responses, changing characters and lines of dialog to something intended to be more personally uncomfortable.

Dark Earth
Dark EarthDark Earth is a post-apocalyptic action-adventure game for the PC. Dark Earth takes place several centuries in the future, when a meteor collision with Earth tossed up great clouds of dust that blocked out the sun. Earth's remaining survivors began to seek refuge beneath small openings in the clouds, the few places light could be found. Those that remained in the 'dark earth' were hunted by strange creatures, infected with the darkness. To shelter themselves from the dangerous 'dark earth', the people began to form cities beneath the light called 'Stallites'. At the time of the game, most of the citizens of the stallite have forgotten their history and now worship the light as a god. The stalites are run by 'Sun Priests', who maintain order and prevent the creatures of darkness from harming the city. The game follows the story of Arkhan, a "guardian of fire", protector of the stallite 'Sparta' and the Sun Priests. After an attack on the sun priests, Arkhan has a poison thrown into his face that begins to infect him with the dark sickness. He begins to mutate into a creature of the dark and has to find a cure before his transformation is complete. Along the way, he is treated as an enemy by most of his former friends while he struggles to uncover the conspiracy behind the attack.

Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
