Alpha Protocol – Looks interesting…
While reading up more about Fallout: New Vagas I noticed another game which might make it’s way onto my Xbox when is released. It’s called Alpha Protocol ans is also being developed by Obsidian and being published by Sega (I wasn’t even aware they still existed!).
It’s going to be one of those action/rpgs that seem so popular these days and looking at the various videos and trailers avalible it will no doubt be quite pretty. However it was this section of a First Impressions post over at Game Spot that got me really interested (emphasis added by me)
The guiding principle of the game is to make you feel like one of the three J.B.’s:Jack Bauer, Jason Bourne, and James Bond. To do this, Obsidian has the services of writer Chris Avellone, who wrote the acclaimed Planescape Torment, to create the people who inhabit this world. The team is trying to eschew the notions of clear right and wrong and keep the excitement high by giving each character a specific set of interests.
Planescape Torment?? Awesome! That game is widely considered to have some of the best dialogue ever, so fingers crossed he delivers again. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.

Torment is still one my all time favourite story games… A great twist on the classic RPG. I wonder if that’s been converted to something free on the net…
If you find it let me know. I always seemed to get distracted when I sat down to play it.

It’s available on line for free, but it’s not vapourware or properly free…
