Prototype was a weird game for me. The general concept -- terrorize an entire city as a badass, unstoppable mutant who plain old doesn't give a damn about anyone -- is right up my alley. But somewhere along the way the message was lost on me.
Perhaps it was when I stopped saying "ohh, that thing off in the distance looks interesting, let me check it out" and started going through the actual story missions. Whatever the case may be, this post-launch "Tips 'n Tricks" video for the game taught me a few things I didn't know you could do.
For example, you can change your appearance while briefly underwater, and when you hop back out, no one will know what's going on. "Zeus jumped in the water. Fire on him as soon as he com--oh wait, it's one of our men. The target must still be hiding under there or something. How about we all act confused and look in every imaginable direction? Sounds good to me!"
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Hehe. "I don't know what one of our men was doing under that water with him in the first place, but surely it's one of our men. Carry on people, nothing to see here."
I never thought the Bulletdive would be that useful until I started using it. It'll destroy an entire group of tanks if you do it from even a relatively low height.
Actually I knew these already... probably because of how obsessively I used to play it. That water trick saved me a lot when I was going through this game.
