Alpha Protocol E3 Preview

1UP’s E3 coverage continues with a quick look at Obsidian Entertainment’s Alpha Protocol.

What’s our take? It was a bit of a double take, as it took a few minutes for it to sink that this is one of very few RPGs set in a realistic, modern-day era. That alone is worthy of attention, and the timer on the response options will help to even out the pacing of the game’s “acting” bits. It’s still a ways out (melee combat looked rough), but there’s definite promise.
