i'm not familiar with prey, but to tell you the truth i wasn't as impressed as my husband was. i think the problem is that i've never really liked games that play like a computer game....like quake. i know i'm probably going to get it from quake fans. it's a great game, but really...i don't like feeling like there should be a mouse in my hand.

the graphics were outstanding though, and the story felt really solid. also, the fact that there's no waiting between the game play and the cut scenes is great. what am i talking about, there weren't any cut scenes. i do love that. rigid, my husband, was so impressed with it from the start that he kept getting out of the ocean just to hear the water fall off when he got out.

i guess it's the attention to detail that's really struck him. taking the time to solve those little puzzles in order to hack the flying machines was a lot of fun as well. rigid played the game as i told him where to go or if he missed something. when it was time to do a puzzle we were off guard, but i helped him solve it the first time.

the point of that is that i felt completely immersed in the game even though i wasn't playing at all. this is one of those games (like parasite eve, resident evil, silent hill) that you can just kick back and enjoy as someone else plays and not feel one damn bit annoyed that you don't have the controller in your hands. there hasn't been a game out there that can hold my attention like that in a LONG.....LONG time.

all in all: two thumbs, two toes and two...well, i won't go there. LOL
