So a week or so ago, the amazing app known as Steam(I can get into that later), was selling the game Prey for 5 bucks!

Well I had just gotten my new graphics card, and the game had decent looking graphics, so I decided to go for it.

Click for the Prey goodness

Its ok, definitly not worth the full 50 bucks or so that i am sure it was first tagged at. Specifically it feels like an unreal/doom esque game that the developers took some time(about 2 hours) trying to figuring out a gimmick.

Let me take this moment to explain myself a bit more, WTF is with gimmicks. I mean if you need a gimmick, then you are not making a good game. But I guess I get ahead of myself because in every industry there are going to be varying levels of quality, depth, etc. But seriously, gimmicks are driving me crazy right now, and don’t even get me started on the Nintendo Wii.

Well basically the gimmick they came up with is too throw in Native American culture. I mean don’t get me wrong, I am sure there are many interesting ways to do this. But this game just feels wrong. I mean switching into Native American Spirit mode to shoot your spirit bow at dead childrens souls that are fighting you on a Doom Alien ship that is gutting all the humans that it sucks up with their alien rays along with cars, hello kitty dolls and small local pubs. Is that missplaced or what??

Although now that I think about it…

Maybe it could be worse…
