Finally got a chance to sit down and blow through the
Prey demo that was released last week and I'm pretty impressed. It's actually a decent FPS that brings a few new things to the party. The two biggest is the heavy use of portals and how the game uses gravity. Separately these are decent concepts but the game uses together in some interesting ways including a few that are a bit stomach turning (nothing like hopping through a portal not knowing which way is up). The demo also screws with your sense of scale in one spot that's also pretty cool. I'm not entirely sold on a few things like how you can revive yourself by playing what's essentially a mini-game after you've been killed but the demo does look and run pretty well. I'm interested to see how the Xbox 360 version runs but it looks like I'm going to have to wait until next week to check it out. If you've got some time to kill this weekend and a decent PC the demo is a lot of fun so check it
out.
