Activision have confirmed today that their latest action title release, Prototype, has hit retail shelves and is available for purchase. Early looks suggest some impending success with a 9/10 review from "PSW Magazine", if that counts for much. Release platforms include the PS3 and Xbox 360.

You are the PROTOTYPE: Alex Mercer - a genetically mutated man without memory, armed with amazing shape-shifting abilities, hunting to discover what created you and determined to make those responsible pay. As Alex, gamers tear through a densely populated contemporary New York City moving with free-roaming Parkour-style fluidity, consuming anybody that gets in his way...assuming their physical form, memories and abilities. Fuelled by a three-way war between Alex, the Blackwatch Military Special Forces and a viral outbreak known as the Infected, players venture into a deep, dark conspiracy 40 years in the making!
