'Prey' brings your alien abduction fears to life
If you feel like a drone wandering through the same routine every day, it could just the pangs of modern life, or you could be the subject of alien experiments.
The second option is one of the plot points of Prey, a game in development by Arkane Studios, creators of Dishonored. The game's existence was announced at publisher Bethesda Softworks E3 press conference Sunday night in Los Angeles.
Prey puts you in the shoes of Morgan Yu in the year 2032. Morgan is the subject of some morally ambiguous experiments meant to "improve" humanity. He wakes up on a spaceship, and must battle waves of aliens -- helped by his new, curious powers.
