Note<\/b>: this is a rerun of a review of <\/a>Prey<\/a><\/i> that originally ran on Ars Technica in August 2006. With the uptick in interest after Steam recently put the title on sale for $2.50, we though we would revisit this old title.<\/p>\n Imagine this: you’ve just gotten out of the military, and you head back to the Cherokee reservation you grew up on. Your best girl is there, as is your grandfather, but you’re just sick of the whole thing. It’s the same people, the same land, and it feels like a dead end. You’ve tried to get your girlfriend to leave with you, but she feels like this is home. Your grandfather won’t shut up about your destiny; the old man has his head in the clouds. There’s nothing to do but play some casino games, get into a bar fight, and get abducted by aliens while Blue Oyster Cult plays on the jukebox.<\/p>\n As opening scenes go, this is a pretty strong one. Welcome to Prey<\/em>.<\/p>\n
