Prey preview

I haven't updated the PC games section for quite a while. There is an simple reason for this. Interesting new games are usually not released during the summer months. One exception seems to be the upcoming game Prey. Developed by Human Head Studios, Prey uses a modified version of the Doom 3 engine. The game looks at first glance like a "normal" first person shooter but it contains a number of gameplay features not common in most FPS. For an example, the player can flip the gravity by shooting special targets and walk on the walls to avoid enemies or hazards. Prey also let's the player enter a special spirit mode in where you can leave the body and move around many of the level's obstacles.

The game has been in development in one way or another since 1995 when Prey first was announced. Change of graphic engines, developers and staff has delayed it until now. Read more about the game at the official homepage. Gamespot also has a wide range of articles plus the possibility to download the demo. The game is out on the PC next month. A XBox 360 version is also in the making. Here are a few ingame screens...
