The Leech gun can give freezer burn to close-range enemies
It's not often that a game redefines an entire genre, especially one as overcrowded and tapped-out as the first-person shooter. But thanks to innovative game design, jaw-dropping environments, and a sci-fi story that puts big-budget Hollywood flicks to shame, Prey surpasses all expectations to become one of the best games of the year.
Don't Panic, It's Organic
You star as Tommy, a young Cherokee auto mechanic waiting for the perfect opportunity to leave his tribal reservation -- an opportunity that will probably never come. After all, Tommy's girlfriend, Jen, is perfectly content with her unremarkable job, her life, and her heritage. Unlike Tommy, Jen is happy to stay put.
Little interactive touches adorn Prey's hyper-detailed world
But leave she will. One night, Tommy, Jen, and Tommy's grandfather are abducted by a titanic alien craft called the "Sphere," and fed into a large-scale automated slaughterhouse. After escaping from the conveyor belt, Tommy discovers that (SPOILER WARNING!) his hungry hosts are responsible for abducting the residents of countless other planets, as well, to feed to a god-like alien intelligence called "Mother." In a race to save Jen, Tommy must harness both organic super-weapons and ancient Native American rituals to defeat his alien captives on battlegrounds spanning both the physical and spiritual worlds.
"Woah...which way is up?" Prey's wall-walking puzzles defy gravity

axeman46 you must be good at games cause I got stuck a lot, didn't die a whole bunch but, there we're times when I had no clue what I was doing. I guess I should of played it all the way through instead of taking a break to play other games. "Assassin's Creed!"

This is one of the best games I ever played period. Anyone who has a 360 and enjoys FPS should get this game. I can't belive how underated this game really is. It is not confusing at all, I will admit you don't really ever die in the game because it has a cool little mini-game when you die so you can come back but really isn't loading a saved game the same thing.
