Alpha Protocol

I usually dont get excited easily from reading a game preview, but after reading Game Informer's preview of Alpha Protocol by Obsidian, I just want to play now!!!

This is one of these games that I want to play and work on. A game in which you can achieve pretty much what you want, the way you want, make decision that will affect your character and will change the flow of the game based on your decisions.

Alpha Protocol is a Third-Person Shooter/Stealth RPG in which you are a secret agent that needs to acccomplish missions accross the globe.

This description could be used for many different games,but in this one (since its an RPG) you get to customize your character by developping different skills throughout the game. You can become skillfull at shooting multiple target, get better at stealth to silently kill your enemy or ... every skill you unlock will open up a new set of skills that defines your character.

Moreover, you'll be able to accomplish "side" missions that will take place before your real missions in a given country and those side missions will provide some help or clue on the bigger ones. For example, you'll sneak in some communication towers to get some data that will make it easier for you to enter the real mission headquarter or something... plus you can decide to get the info any way you want (kill guard, bribe guard, sneak and hack the computer) and it will define, once again, who your character his.

if Obsidian can achieve all that plus a dialogue system from which you can actually have a different experience depending on your mood and choices, etc ... that game will be great and I will be waiting to play it from now on :)
