Alpha Protocol - Boxshot, Diary 4 and Release Date?

Sega has released the Alpha Protocol boxshot and the fourth video dev diary.  The boxshot should be showing up on the left of this newsbit if you refresh but you can also check out a hi-res version on the official forums.

The dev diary is below but, first, Worthplaying adds the release date has been announced as October 6th, although we haven't seen that PR ourselves.
