It's been awhile since we've seen or heard anything from Radical Entertainment and its third-person, open-world action title Prototype. In fact, the last time we really heard anything new about the game was last year's San Francisco Game Developers Conference. And then when Activision got its claws into Sierra Entertainment, Prototype's former publisher, Radical Entertainment went dark.

Now, with the game shipping for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC this summer and Activision Blizzard taking over publishing duties, they're ready to talk. Today, they've released new screens and a trailer for the game which reveals a bit about the gameplay and story. More specifically, the game's lead Alex Mercer talks about how he can absorb the memories, abilities, and identity of anyone using his mysterious mutant powers.

He's a mutant for sure, but he's no zombie. More after the jump.
