Hooked Gamers: Alpha Protocol Preview

Jason Bourne. James Bond. Jack Bauer. These are supposed to be the names that come to mind when playing Alpha Protocol. The game's plot starts with the main character, Michael Thorton, being pushed out "into the cold" when a mission he was participating in falls apart – apparently because his team was betrayed by someone on the inside. And the US government is operating under the assumption that that someone was him.

So now Michael has to not only contend with the ubiquitous Bad Guys, he also has to worry about being snuffed by his own team. Now, Michael at least KNOWS he wasn't the leak, so he has the obvious task of exonerating himself with the US government – while that same government is doing everything it can to terminate him. As daunting a challenge as that may be, he must also deal with the fact that the threat that his team had been investigating is still proceeding. If left unchecked, as is likely because the US Intelligence community has developed tunnel vision while pursuing him, bad things will happen.

One of the few 7th gen game that I'll full heartedly support for a remake.
Its a very unique RPG and deserves its faults fixed the 2nd time.

TheNamelessOne584d ago

I would be so for this. Alpha Protocol is the definition of a diamond in the rough. Before being acquired by Microsoft, Obsidian presented their ideas for a sequel, multiple times, but were always shot down. Even something simple like a remaster is very unlikely.

ZeekQuattro584d ago

Still have a physical copy for my PS3. Clunky at times but I had a lot of fun with it back in the day.

TheColbertinator584d ago

Had some issues but that game was brilliant.

LordoftheCritics710d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend709d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long710d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons710d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor710d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52709d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602709d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor710d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B710d ago (Edited 710d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
