InFamous Defeats Prototype In Cross-Dressing Playoff

9:00AM July 5, 2009 | Owen Good

In a recent Zero Punctuation review, Yahtzee couldn’t declare which blockbuster game “about super-powered assholes” was better, but would give the honour to the studio that best drew the rival game’s protagonist in drag.

Astoundingly and to their everlasting credit, both Radical and Sucker Punch participated. First up, Radical sent in two submissions, but that monstrosity takes the cake – Cole McGrath with Vegas showgirl peacock tail, a Marilyn Monroe birthmark and … oh God are his pubes showing? NEXT.

Here’s your winner: Alex Mercer, who shapeshifted up some heaving bosoms thanks to Sucker Punch, in a tableau that “could be the cover of a romance novel.” Per Yahtzee’s award citation:

It’s a close call, but I’m going to declare Sucker Punch the winner by one lovingly-rendered pair of breasts. Also their unicorn is a much prouder, mightier steed, and Alex’s expression is delightfully coquettish. Therefore InFamous must be the better game. Buy InFamous. Prototype’s still good, though. Buy it as well.
