In the first three novels, he is a maverick detective with the Minneapolis Police Department, a lieutenant acting independently, running a network of street contacts. At the end of Eyes of Prey, he's forced to resign to avoid excessive force charges, partly due to his knowledge of the connection of a senior police officer to that case. He returns in Night Prey as a Deputy Chief (a political appointment), running his own intelligence unit.

Beginning with Naked Prey, Davenport is an investigator for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, acting occasionally as a special troubleshooter for the governor of Minnesota in politically sensitive cases. He serves in that capacity through Gathering Prey at the end of which he quits working for the BCA, later becoming a United States Marshal. He's known for his unorthodox and manipulative behavior as a detective, reminiscent of "Dirty Harry" Callahan. He is not a leader, but a loner who works with a small circle of capable, straight police friends. The novel Mind Prey was sold for a TV movie, and the Davenport was portrayed by Eriq La.

Salle. Another of the novels, Certain Prey, was adapted into a movie in 2. USA Network starring Mark Harmon as Davenport. Description[edit]Davenport is described as a tall, slender, wide- shouldered man with a "permanent tan" that gives his very blue eyes a kind expression, contradicted by the "chilly" smile of a predator, particularly a wolverine. Dark- haired, but streaked with gray, Davenport has a face marked by a fine scar from his hairline to the right corner of his mouth (caused by a fishing hook accident) that gives him "a raffish air" and also "a touch of innocence, like Errol Flynn in Captain Blood" (Rules of Prey).

In the very first Davenport book, the hero is described as "slender and dark- complexioned, with straight black hair going grey at the temples and a long nose over a crooked smile. One of his central upper incisors had been chipped and he never had it capped.

He might have been an Indian except for his blue eyes." His tooth was chipped during an ice hockey match in his youth. His amateur career had peaked as first- line defenseman for the Golden Gophers of the University of Minnesota. Davenport has suffered a few bullet and knife wounds over the course of his career, and is permanently tan no more. Davenport is street- wise, has a wide network of contacts among all levels of society in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and on occasions finds solutions to criminal investigations by thinking like a criminal. He is also skilled at using computers and other technological sources of information. In recent years as a senior officer of the state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension he has been able to call on the services of several specialized research professionals.

Beyond these things, he is lucky, a characteristic mentioned in more than one book. He is not above skirting the law and accepted procedures to move a case forward. He even uses news media contacts to leak secrets to freak out criminal suspects or motivate laggard senior officialdom. Unforeseen civilian deaths sometimes result from these schemes. Davenport is a police celebrity, having shot and killed many suspects in the line of duty. Quite apart from those deaths caused in spontaneous gunfights, Davenport has been suspected - - appropriately - - of engineering some outcomes so that the death of a miscreant is virtually certain. Unusually for a police officer, he has more than once been a target of assassination attempts by criminals; his numerous contacts in the media consider him a good interview, but editors persistently criticize his violence.

Davenport feels no hesitation about killing defenseless criminals who present no threat to him. In the first Davenport novel, Rules of Prey, he makes a mechanical device to create the illusion that he is in a gunfight when he kills Louis Vullion, aka "the Maddog", the criminal in that matter. Watch Annibale Download there.

He does not want Vullion to die painlessly. That was his sixth police killing. The total today is ten. While Davenport is thought of as lucky, it's a remarkable thing that any criminal who wishes him harm can find his home and attack it, even though he does not have a public phone listing. Davenport is independently wealthy, having achieved success first through the creation of Dungeons & Dragons- style role playing games. He started and later sold his own software company that first created personal computer games for private users, and later, emergency simulations for training police and other emergency workers. He dresses fashionably, favors European- cut clothing, and drives his personal Porsche 9.

Nissan truck or van while on duty. The Nissan seems to have been replaced recently by a Lexus SUV.

Early on, he was depicted as a womanizer, fathering a daughter, Sarah, out of wedlock from a running affair with blonde television news reporter Jennifer Carey. Sarah lives with her mother and a stepfather, and Davenport visits her frequently. As the series progressed, Davenport settled down with and eventually married the highly paid maxillofacial surgeon Weather Karkinnen, who in Winter Prey once saved his life with an emergency tracheotomy after he had been shot.

Prey for PC Reviews - Metacritic. This review is based on the game after completing it with all the side- quests available, except two (as far as I know). I played it for around 2. I'm one of those people who was heavily disappointed when Bethesda cancelled Prey 2 (2. Prey's sequel, which I played and very much enjoyed). In a way, even if I wasn't one of them, I totally understood the people who started bashing and boycotting this new Prey game.

But was the hate justified? The short answer is no. Not at all. Based on my experience so far, I have to say this game is simply amazing in every possible way. The music is phenomenal, thanks to the talented Mick Gordon who also did the soundtrack for 2.

Doom and for Wolfenstein: The New Order. But what is more important though is that the game is full of very smart and intelligent gameplay design ideas. It's more than obvious that the devs well thought out every little gameplay aspect and tweaked them to achieve perfection. This game has a very high production quality. Also, I think I never saw a game before that so well utilized the enviroment such as this. In every single area I spent a very large amount of time to be able to discover everything, and it was a whole lot of fun. Prey mixes verticality and platforming very well with the usual, more horizontal gameplay.

And if I mentonied exploration: the exploration/discovery is fantastic, the game is very complex and deep in terms of world building and gameplay, in fact it's more complex in a way than most AAA games out there today. The story and the lore looks promising, and I like the visual design the artists went for. The game clearly took inspiration from the best movies in the sci- fi genre (Stanley Kubrick's 2.

A Space Odyssey, or Ridley Scott's Alien). Other than that, it reminds me some of the best games I've played, such as Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Bioshock, Dishonored, and of course, it also has a very strong System Shock vibe. In fact, it could be called System Shock 3.

It has a Dead Space feeling in a way too. The good news won't end here. This game is perfectly optimized.

I have a rig that is around the recommended specs, and I manage to hit 1. FPS average at 1.

EVGA GTX9. 70 FTW, 1. GB DDR4 2. 40. 0Mhz RAM, i.

This game is a joy to play. It's very impressive that it managed to grab me this much under only one hour and never let me go till I finished it. In fact, I'm still not finished (even if I completed the story). I'm starting a second playthrough now and I'll try to get the remaining achievements. I definitely recommend checking out this game, it well worth the money! If I have to say a con, it's a minor thing, but normal human- sized enemies will provide unpleasant difficulty spikes every time you face them as long as you don't get a shotgun.

Fighting against them with the Glue Gun, Pistol, or Wrench is not easy, and they kill you in 3 hits on Normal difficulty. The easiest is to avoid them and/or try to throw explosives at them from a distance (red pipes).
