If he's away, that might explain the non-reply. I posted on my blog in the end (link over that way <---.) I'd love to write for the site in the future, I've been enjoying it since I first found my way over a couple of months ago. I’d emailed Andy, I believe.

In fact, I emailed this very site about possibly publishing it, but I never got a reply. I wrote an article a few weeks back about the effect Prototype had on me.

I reckon it works the other way round; because I have more control in 3rd person I fell a bit more attached and i spend more time doing things because i get more information the screen. And you seem do "bigger" things in 3rd person games Shadow of the Colossus for example, intsead of constantly ajusting the view or aiming at something. I am biased though, I've never really gotten the hang of first person games. But i can see what your saying and i think first person games could handle a more poiniant subject matter better because it does resonate a lot better when you can see what your charictor is seeing. Not to mention the significance of having eye contact. Prototype however I don't think would be ten times more horrific, it would be quite a lot more shocking - changing your driving perspective in GTA to 1st person and then driving through a crowd of people proves that - but after so many kills it would go back to that Josef Stalin quote: One death is a tragedy; "One million is a statistic." That’s interesting.
