So Alpha Protocol has recently blipped on my radar. The buzz about it seems to be James Bond/Jason Bourne meets Mass Effect and Fallout 3. Obsidian is the developer whose credits include NeverWinter Nights 2 and Knights of the Old Republic 2. Something like this interests me way more than a Splinter Cell game et al. I love that RPG developers like Obsidian, Bethesda and Bioware have been branching away from elves and dragons. Some other buzz has arisen from this title due to the sexy times that can had with some of the female characters in the story. Which, by itself shouldn’t be newsworthy, but hey it is a selling point.

You’ll be able to pick this badboy up this October.
