This Day in Gaming

In retro news, I’m lighting a 16-candle cake for Prototype, a super-anti-hero sandboxer. I can vividly recall the first time I slipped into the leather hoodie of Alex Mercer, an amnesiac with a bad attitude and worse mutations. Also, it’s tough to forget a protagonist who had a penchant for karate-kicking helicopter gunships.

Radical Entertainment’s take on Manhattan was crawling with military goons and grotesque infected, and we could shapeshift into all manner of weaponry. I’m talking clawed arms for slicing mobs to ribbons, a giant blade that could cleave tanks in half, and tendrils that whipped enemies into buildings. He could also glide across rooftops, sprint up skyscrapers, and elbow-drop from 20 storeys up like a plague-powered missile. Top gameplay that holds up pretty well today.

Nice Savings for Nintendo Switch

Nintendo fans can return to where it all began with Suikoden I&II HD Remaster, a loving update of the Konami JRPGs that inspired an entire generation of storytellers. That includes Final Fantasy Tactics director Yasumi Matsuno, who cited it as a major influence. Or you could hop into Octopath Traveler, the game that kickstarted the now-iconic “HD-2D” look used across multiple Square Enix titles, from Live A Live to Triangle Strategy.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox

On Xbox Series X, Metaphor: ReFantazio is shaping up as the spiritual heir to Persona 5. That’s no coincidence as it comes from the same dream team of developers. Meanwhile, Star Wars Outlaws lets you explore the Outer Rim as a scoundrel, a design choice inspired by Ubisoft’s love of Firefly and the rough edges of Han Solo.
