Okay, so you're probably wondering where these images came from. Yahtzee presented a challenge to the development teams of these two games after he couldn't decide which game was better in a recent episode of Zero Punctuation. So, he jokingly said the "winner" would be whichever team sends in an image of the other game's protagonist cross-dressing.
And now the world is a much better place.

I declare WIN!
WINterfang @ Jul 4th 2009 12:09AM
I concur.

This needs a reader poll to determine who got served!
WINterfang @ Jul 4th 2009 10:03PM
This was a weird downvoting,

The irony however is, that inFamous is a vastly superior game, however because it's not multiplatform, Prototypes reviews have been overinflated to ensure Xbox owners feel they aren't missing out.

Thats funny because I have not heard even ONCE from people who played both that infamous was even close to anything except ...GASP...boring and repetitive..including myself...so yeah..way to go
Residentevil72501 (PSN: rankore) @ Jul 4th 2009 12:05AM
OMg that is fucking funny!
Sly @ Jul 4th 2009 12:08AM
alex doesn't look all that creepy. but i wouldn't touch cole with a 30 foot long electricity pole...
WINterfang @ Jul 4th 2009 12:16AM
Yes you will and I will too.
Archwright @ Jul 6th 2009 5:34PM
I have to say... the instant that Yahtzee named the challenge, I knew that both studios would rise to the challenge.
I'm much more likely to buy inFamous now than I ever was before.
ColorblindMonk @ Jul 4th 2009 12:06AM
And I must say, I'm fairly scarred.
E.J. @ Jul 4th 2009 5:34AM
Scarred or scared? Because I feel both.
IannCannon (XBL&Steam: ianncannon. PSN: Iann Cannon) @ Jul 4th 2009 12:06AM
I still can't decide which to buy.
Rob @ Jul 4th 2009 12:30AM
Buy one now, the other for the holidays.
sony boy @ Jul 4th 2009 1:24AM
infamous is longer, so you should buy that and you can get the uncharted 2 beta.
prototype is good, but a bit too short for an open world game.
Alistair Azimuth PSN: johnnynumber5 @ Jul 4th 2009 1:28AM
Haven't played Prototype but I can say with full confidence InFamous is one of those games everyone with a PS3 should own. One of the best on the platform and an incredibly fun experience.
PN04 @ Jul 4th 2009 1:49AM
This settles it! Infamous wins because it's developers are just so much cooler and fun guys. Buy both games.... but buy Infamous first.
f35acepilot @ Jul 4th 2009 12:20PM
The Uncharted 2 beta is over now, actually. :(
Kamizar @ Jul 4th 2009 12:07AM
Joystiq turned all deviant art on me. Damnit Yahzee.
Action-Alan (BWF) @ Jul 4th 2009 12:08AM
Great, right after I get Dead Space Girl out of my mind, cross-dressing Alex and Cole step in to fill the void.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jul 4th 2009 12:19AM

pat1202003 @ Jul 4th 2009 12:46AM
Done and done.

Somehow though, I think the pictures are less disturbing with DSG.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jul 4th 2009 1:17AM
You two are my fucking heroes!!! Those look great! I wonder if this will work as a wall paper?
David @ Jul 4th 2009 7:06AM

Juande @ Jul 4th 2009 10:16AM

Ashkental @ Jul 4th 2009 12:09AM

Ashkental @ Jul 4th 2009 12:11AM
Why does my avatar sometimes appear and sometimes don't?
I like my DSG Shoop da Whooping... Fix this joystiq :'(
WINterfang @ Jul 4th 2009 12:19AM
Don't fight it baby, besides I can see your avatar, you are the one that can't.
Ashkental @ Jul 4th 2009 12:19AM
Really?
Oh then, fine :D
WINterfang @ Jul 4th 2009 12:29AM
Nop, I'm just a jerk.
Ashkental @ Jul 4th 2009 12:35AM

WINterfang @ Jul 4th 2009 12:50AM
Your avatar was DSG shoop da woop but it change to paper mario.

ArchiGamer @ Jul 4th 2009 12:53AM
Funny, since I left Jack as my avatar it has never changed, not even to the default Mario.
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jul 4th 2009 1:20AM
I can see it.
Doctor John Smith @ Jul 4th 2009 1:48PM
No matter how hard I try, I can't get any avatar to upload.
Alex @ Jul 5th 2009 5:37PM
John Smith, I have been trying to change mine for ages and it still won't work.
MasterWolf @ Jul 4th 2009 12:11AM
Cole reminds me of fable 2..........................
xtremeholymuffin @ Jul 4th 2009 11:49AM
Yeah, but he looks like how the women normally look in that game when in a bikini.
bluesky_v2.01 @ Jul 4th 2009 12:11AM
That picture of Cole will now haunt me in my dreams forever (or at least until I see something thats even more disturbing).
ArchiGamer @ Jul 4th 2009 12:12AM
MY LIGHTNING WILL MAKE YOU FAB-U-LOUS!!!
WINterfang @ Jul 4th 2009 12:30AM
I have become InFABULOUS.
Uncontrol @ Jul 4th 2009 12:12AM
As soon as I saw that, I said, "they're totally going to do this."
Great.
Girugamuk (Moptimus Slimed) @ Jul 4th 2009 12:16AM
I hate humanity
THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jul 4th 2009 12:21AM
But it loves you...
Sly @ Jul 4th 2009 12:26AM
i recommend staying away from razors.
The Dark Wayne @ Jul 4th 2009 12:18AM
does it count as cross dressing if you have boobs?
Blank-Mage @ Jul 4th 2009 2:05AM
No one answer, I don't want to know, I've been to conventions, and I've seen things.
The Dark Wayne @ Jul 4th 2009 2:53AM
rofl, i was worried about the responses i might get after, especially ones about transvestites
