Alpha Protocol - Preview @ Blend Games

A short summary preview of Obsidian's Alpha Protocol is up at Blend Games:

Obsidian's games, like BioWare's, place a heavy emphasis on players being able to choose the personality of their character as well. When Michael is talking with other characters, the player can choose to act suave, aggressive, or professional. Your choices in conversations will have concrete effects on the storyline and you'll have to play the game through the game multiple times to explore all of the options. Obsidian has proven the strength of its writing team in the past; AP lead designer Chris Avellone also served as lead designer for Knights of the Old Republic II and Black Isle Studios' Planescape: Torment. The game promises a rich, morally ambigious story of international espionage.
