Title: The Beast
Developer: Bioware (or Twesterm?)
Console: PS3/360/PC
Synopsis: After a visit to the doctor for a concussion, suffered from playing the Nintendo Wii, you find yourself very dead. Later, you awaken in some sort of lab, surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of other dead bodies, being experimented on. "We have a breakthrough!", yells one anonymous scientist. Breakthrough, indeed. Your strength is incredible. Your agility is unbelievable. And, you're naked. You break free from the facility, "Weapon X" style.
Almost as soon as you escape, the lab building is struck by lightening, and is totally destroyed. That's when THEY appear. The Bringers. They are Pestilence (rotting bat wings), Famine (Bone wings), War (Iron wings), and Death (Black angel wings). Along with their minions, they're burdened with the task of bringing your ass back to the other side.
So, the police label you a terrorist for destroying that lab building. They're after you. Your family shuns you for coming back from the dead. For some reason, people in the future don't look kindly on that. And the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have come to Earth. And, as time progresses, you are becoming more and more powerful..........the media labels you "The Beast".
The game unfolds in your standard fare. Part open world, part RPG. It's the boss fights that make the game, though. The battle with "Pestilence" takes place in a biological research facility. Even though you win, you unleash a plague onto the population. The battle with "Famine" takes place in the facility that provides much of the Utopia's food supply. Even though you win, the floating city's food suppy is tainted and useless. By the end of the game, you've survived......but you've inadverantly (did I spell that right?) unleashed armaggeddon on what was once an almost perfect society. The floating city of Utopia has fallen from the sky, and crashed into the wasteland below. Only then, do you realise who you really were..........experiment #666.
The Beast.
