The gameplay felt clunky to me. It seemed like a decent enough game but I didn't bother playing this one for very long.

I took this back when it first came out. I just did not feel that it was a great game for $60. For $2 I will play just about anyting and enjoy the heck out of it.

Yeah, if I paid $60 for it I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it and not over-looked a lot of its problems. For $12 its a good game and I actually want to go through it at least one more time.

Just a heads up... this game is $2 on steam right now.

Alpha Protocol is going to be Bargain Bin gem.

This ones been on my radar for a while. I might pick it up if I find a clearance rack and it's sitting in it.

Well, sure enough found it in a walmart bin for 4.99, PS3. I only played about 5 minutes so far but have one question.

How should I start? What's with the "already established" charcters and the "recruit" or "veteran" options at the bottom in the beginning?

Is recruit for people who are just starting out on their first playthrough? I guess that would be me.

And really I'm only playing it for the trophies, so which should I choose to get me on the fastest track to unlocking my digital trinkets?

Edit; I guess that's more than one question....

I was actually just thinking about this game last night. I just need to find it.

Re: Alpha Protocol (Obsidian's new action-RPG)

I bought it a few weeks ago. Really like it. At 7.00 or whatever I paid.. it's well worth it.

[Chef Matt]

Haven't really gotten into it yet. I suppose I should give it a fair shot. I just couldn't quite grasp what I was supposed to do.

Picked this up last week for like $6. So far I've only played the training and 3 missions. The hacking mechanics and decision making feels a bit dated, but the everything else gameplay wise is a lot of fun.

If you're looking for a title to hold you over until your next purchase, you can't go wrong with this game. Well worth the $6 price tag.

Gave this one a good go last night. Did two of the training missions. Good fun all in all but a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I was clueless what to do in the the gadget training room. And I can't make heads or tails of the inventory/skills menu screen. I figure this stuff will come along as I play. Should be good.

I beat it last year. Pretty cool game, lack luster story with not much polish to it but the game is old school fun if that makes sense.

Totally. I had a hard time in the Saudi Arabia area learning what things were for and what gadgets did but now that I'm through that I got a pretty good handle on the game. Alot of fun. Well worth the 5 bucks or whatever I paid for it. I just went through some CIA safehouse and completed all objectives and didn't get seen nor did touch a single agent. Thats the kind "tactical espionage" I enjoy.

When I think of Tactical Espionage I think of being able to hide in boxes
