* [[FightUnscene Fight Unscene]]: A pox upon most anime, unfortunately. It's incredibly lazy to watch characters running at each other with colored backgrounds, shaking and alternating back and forth, for twelve seconds. Alternatively, holding incredibly difficult to maintain poses mid-air for the same duration. It's unrealistic and it tastes like filler.

* AscendedDemon. Overcoming an evil nature (or impulses, transformation, et cetera) to become a good person might be overused and cliche, but it's something I love reading about.
** Just don't give me any of that 'TRU WUV REDEEMS' crap. I mean, I ''guess'' it can be done meaningfully and well, with a monster falling in love with a captive/survivor/would-be-meal, or really just regaining their humanity with a platonic relationship. But being a fanfiction writer, I mostly just see the kind of crap where somebody inserts their OC into Hogwarts and turns Draco Malfoy into Mr. Right within three chapters.

* StagesOfMonsterGrief; always fun to watch in action. Conversely, it's irritating when a character has no reaction to becoming something monstrous, unless they have a reason not to be.

*I'm a fan of the first - I don't like to think about how Emily turns out [[EnfantTerrible otherwise]]. Her, Samuel and Teague Martin are my other favorites, but I don't want to ramble on forever.
*The setting itself is eerie, otherworldly, and horribly bleak. A plague has brought a once-great city to its knees - the streets crawl with rats, beggars, and infected, and the guards are little better than the warring gangs. The city's ruin is brought to life by numerous logs and journals left around - often near what's left of their owners. Each map is large, the scenery is excellently constructed, and there are always numerous ways to proceed. And if you want to do things the murderous way... you'd be surprised at how good the game is about making you feel like a scumbag for taking out that guard who just wouldn't look away.
*My only complaint is that the game is rather short, and that the midway plot twist was visible from ''miles'' away.

* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/Prototype?from=Main.Prototype Prototype]] I'm actually a lot more into the story side of it than the psychotic murdering spree side of it. The game's a lot deeper than many people give it credit for - there's a lot of black-and-grey morality and transhumanistic themes. What separates a monster from a person? Are horrible deeds for good purposes justified? Hell, the main character spends most of the game hunting down the person responsible for what results in the deaths of millions of innocents, [[spoiler: only to find out that the culprit is ''himself''.]] There's a three-way war in Manhattan - the military, the Infected, and Alex Mercer - a man-eating virus monster who happens to be the closest thing in the setting to a hero. That should say a lot. Everyone involved does terrible, terrible things, but there are ''reasons''. You will hate what Blackwatch does, but at the same time, you'll know exactly why they do it. And Elizabeth Greene is both crazy and ''terrifying'', but in the end, all she is is another victim.
