| 166 | ** This fic has pretty much ruined other ''Prototype'' fics for me ''and '' other ''Fallout New Vegas'' fics. Alex is just perfectly characterized here, with his development feeling 100% natural and earned, and this fic's Courier is one of the most charming and enjoyable I've ever read. The fic is definitely hilarious, but it also has plenty of gravitas and time for soul-searching philosophy, and Alex's presence adds a few new twists and surprises to how some quests play out. Definitely, definitely take the time to read this. |

They try lying low in Brockton Bay, but as anyone that knows Alex, he never plays well with others.

| 224 | * Comments: The fanfic so far has 3 chapters but it's very good. The crossover has the timeline of Parasite Eve adjusted where Aya is born in 1984 and is 25 years old in 2009 just like the original game which was set in 1997 and both the events of Prototype and Parasite Eve happens at the same time. What i find interesting of the fanfic is that Blackwatch thinks Eve and the Neo Mitochondria Creatures([=NMC=]s) are the results of the Blacklight virus when in truth they aren't. Furthermore, [[spoiler:Alex cannot consume [=NMC=]s as they can fight back when he tries to consume them and kill themselves before he has a chance to get anything from them.]] A highly recommended read. |
