Prey 360 was the pioneer for next-gen wrench violence and portals; it needs love @ Amazon today
-D- | 7:34 AM on 05.30.2008 10 comments



You're excited, I can tell. Not many games allow you play the role of an angsty Native American mechanic who beats aliens with a wrench about the ass and face. Maybe that's not your bag after Bioshock's amazing depiction of wrench violence, you just can't go back, which I can totally understand. However, Prey also has portals; INTERDIMENSIONAL TRAVEL!! That's right, before The Orange Box's Portal made portaling cool again, Prey was keeping it real. This is the entire reason the game was delayed 10 years...that's hardcore! And all because the technology wasn't ridiculous enough to allow them the ability to have you walk in a spacehole and pop-out on the ceiling to blast some ass. Although, it could've been to let the technology for you to no not totally die in a FPS come to fruition. Either way, you're tingling, I can tell.

I can make jokes and fill the screen with lots of nonsense, but what it all boils down to is, for $14.99 Prey is so friggin worth your time. I hear the multiplayer is pretty decent, allowing for multi-plane deathmatch-a-go-gos and did I mention the single player lets you take control of an angsty Native American mechanic who beats aliens with a wrench about the ass and face? If you're still not sold then you need to go on a vision quest.

Ok further proof Blindside hates fun, the multiplayer is like pulling your own teeth out it's so laggy

:)

Yeah this game is totally awesome and like 6 months ago we dedicated an FNF to Prey! Those were the days...

It's laggy if you don't have a really good host. I've played less laggy games.

Man, half of the fun of having diverse main characters is capitalizing on the incredibly stereotypical special powers developers give them. If I wanted angst, I'd pick a white teen.

Prey is so NOT friggin worth your time. I hear the multiplayer is pretty awful, allowing for multi-plane deathmatch-a-go-gos with constant lag and did I mention the single player lets you take control of an angsty Native American mechanic who beats aliens with a wrench about the ass and face in a most sexual manner? If you're still sold then you need to go on a vision quest.

I've seen this sold at local game stores new & used for 9.99.

Perhaps I'll check this out for that kind of price.

This was one of the first games I bought for my 360 and I highly recommend it to anybody who loves a good FPS single player campaign. I haven't played multiplayer at all so I can't speak to that but the singleplayer is worth $15 alone.

I got it and hated it.
I really dug the fact that y'know, it actually had a story and interesting characters, but I just didn't really like the weapons or the everything's-covered-in-inches-of-slime environment.
Actually one of the thing's that bugged me most was choppy aiming on the PC, but recently I've come to realize this is because of my shitty mouse... maybe this game could be good after all.

Holy shit, epiphany in comment.

Going to re-install.
