Prototype 2 gets iOS puzzle tie-in

By Fred Dutton Published 4 November, 2011

Protoslice available on App Store today.

Activision is looking to whet gamers' appetites for its forthcoming Prototype sequel with a free iOS puzzle spin off called Protoslice.

Available from today, it's a modified version of Twitchgames' Slice app which sees you carefully moving blades around the screen to give you access to a hidden panic button.

Check out the trailer below for a closer look.

The full Prototype 2 experience is still a way off, not due on shelves until April next year. Eurogamer's recent preview should give you a good idea of what to expect from Radical Entertainment's follow-up to its solid 2009 action title.

    Really? Really?! Proto...slice?! How about: "Prototouch," "Protoknife," or maybe something more boring like "Prototype Defense" or "Prototype Touch." Protoslice is just such a horrible name imo.

    @Shotofen As mentioned by both the trailer and the article itself, the game is based on another game called SLICE...

    'Why don't they put on android'

    Is the popular question, which will eventually get asked less and less but the common answer is simply put that iPhone is still the widely supported platform, for many reasons.

    How often do we see 'why don't they put on iOS'?

    On my wife birthday party recent weekend, a female friend of ours lost rag and verbally assaulted me about evils of iPhones, when we haven't mentioned the phones, or virtues of platforms, as I m believer each person choose what they want based on their needs, ie a Ford Focus or Honda Civic! I replied chill, just a phone and both have pros and cons, and not one outright winner. But a proof of how crazy the subject can become! Consoles wars bad enough..
