The Prey series has been through many changes over the last decade. Originally released in 2006, and then slated for a sequel in 2011 before getting canned by Bethesda it's seen multiple teams of developers attached to the name, when finally it was revealed last year at E3 that Arkane Studios would...

Arkane have, in just a short amount of time, mastered their craft. The Dishonored games did a great job at throwing a bunch of tools at the player and letting them navigate rich deep worlds the way they want to. Prey feels the same, only amplified.

Personally I love this game so far, that being said this game is definitely not for everyone and I would suggest playing the demo before buying the game. This game is more then just shooting aliens its about exploration and playing the way you want.

After last year's Dishonored sequel, Arkane's stock is pretty high. The studio is back with its second game in six months, then, and in Prey they have left the confines of terra firma far behind and are this time taking us into outer space, specifically aboard a space station called Talos 1, upon...

The problem I always had with Dishonored is that I couldn't ever imagine anyone living happily in that world. That's sort of the point - the steampunk Victorian-era vibe was designed to force a clash within the Industrial Revolutionary class struggle.

Everyone remembers NBA Jam , and most of those memories are fond. NBA Playgrounds developer Saber Interactive is well aware of that fact. Mimicking the arcade 2-on-2 of Jam with a dash of NBA Street -like style, NBA Playgrounds invokes both games but stops short of matching the quality of either.

Successful reproduction of classic NBA Jam gameplay; Unique twists like the lottery bar are fun; welcome additions

Tournaments mode is short; and more content is sorely needed

Prey is a franchise I come to fresh, having never played the first one, so I read up and spoke to friends to find out more about it. Bethesda bought the franchise and have changed it considerably, by more understanding the only similarities between this game and the original is that it is about some...

NBA Playgrounds attempts to fill the void left by beloved series like NBA Jam and NBA Street. And while it can be a fun, flashy arcade game, it quickly succumbs to its own repetitive gameplay and presentation--with frustrating results.

Entertaining aesthetic packed with personality; Satisfying challenge; Online games reveal Playgrounds' comedic potential

Only one game mode at launch; Repetitive music and announcing; No real need to use the game's extensive roster

The elephant in the room deserves acknowledging upfront: Prey doesn't have a single blessed thing to do with Human Head Studios's 2006 shooter of the same name. That was a mechanically shaggy game that still found a devoted cult following by defiantly flying in the face of just about every...

Despite its issues, which should be addressed in short order, Prey is a stunning gem. Not since the venerable System Shock 2 has there been an immersive simulator that succeeds in everything it sets out to do. Talos-1 is masterful in both its construction and design.
