After a series of delay’s 3D Realms and Human Head Game’s space ship stranded FPS “Prey” hits the Xbox Live servers in everywhere bar Japan and Germany. Check out a long preview here.

Prey really pushes the boundaries of what you’d expect from an FPS by including the most “that’s so cool†moments in a single 5-level demo. The puzzle elements, amazing atmosphere and dual perspective through human and spirit eyes should prove to be a massive hit with FPS fans.

It’s designed to not just highlight the capabilities of Sametime, but to do so using a realistic business example as a backdrop.

The DEMO suitcase

Brian Wood points out Apollo Lemmon’s Demo suitcase, made from a yard-sale find and two issues of the Wood-Cloonan series.

“The two issues were the most touching of the stories told in Demo for me, so they had special resonance,” Lemmon writes. “The lighter side is from ‘Mix Tape,’ which tells of a girl who committed suicide and left a farewell mix tape for her boyfriend. The darker side is from ‘Mon Dernier Jour Avec Toi,’ the story of two lovers’ last night together. They’re both visually and narratively superb, and I wanted to preserve some of that in my collaging.”
