I'm not really the one to preview games here but... Prototype... is simply awesome. The idea of open-world gaming with a challenging AI, uber super powers, ingenious stealth and break-neck action, make for a intensely superior gameplay experience. As excited as I was for this game prior to having the developers come in and demo it for us, having now seen all the mechanics up close... me, want, now.

However, like the legendary Reading Rainbow mantra, "Don't take my word for it" goes, here's Radical Entertainment's VP of Technology Dave Fracchia touring through the genetically-mutated world of Alex Mercer in this Direct-Feed walkthrough of Activision's Prototype for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
