Prototype hits North American retail June 9 photo

This morning, Activision has confirmed what retailers have been saying all along -- Prototype will be hitting North American retailers on June 9. Europeans can pick up the game a few days early (and leak it to the Internet ASAP, probably) on June 5. 

Not much more to say on this, other than I'm personally looking forward to the game's release. It was back at NY Comic-Con that I first got my hands on the game, and was surprised at how much fun I had tearing up the few cities blocks they were letting me play in. Because I'm sadistic. I'm still a bit worried that the open-world nature of the game will lend itself to repetition. But if they dole out the powers like a slow morphine drip from beginning to end, Prototype should be able to hold my attention. 

Is Prototype already on your "must buy" lists?

This and infamous should satisfy my need to blow things up.

Hmmm... nothing to show of the game 2 months before release? They're obviously jumping the gun to compete with InFamous. I'll call it right now that Prototype will be obviously unfinished and buggy.

So releasing a trailer with lots of details about the game means nothing to show?

Prototype isn't on my 'Must-buy' list. It is, however, on my pre-order list.

As for it being rushed out with bugs to compete with similar-game-112, nearly every game gets that treatment nowadays. Lets just hope its survivable.

Both this and inFamous are set up for June 9th. Bye bye $126.58, hello super-powered mayhem.

Fuck, both of them on the same day? I accidently counted up my 360 games the other day.
Over $2000.

It totally doesn't feel like I spend that much.

Can't decide, this, red faction or infamous? Or a combination?

Currently a "think I wanna buy," not a "must buy." I want a demo first.

I'm going Red Faction and Infamous. Later on, if I hear that the rush had no side affect on prototype, I might get it. To me, infamous looks more promising. And the Red Faction demo was AMAZING. So I will definitely be getting that.
