DESCRIPTION

Billed as an "espionage RPG," Alpha Protocol casts you in the role of secret agent Michael Thorton as he embarks on a series of international operations set in Rome, Moscow, Tai Pei, Saudi Arabia, and other exotic locales. From inside computer-equipped safe houses around the world, you'll converse with your handlers, glean intelligence, review dossiers, and receive new missions. What sets Alpha Protocol apart from traditional action games is the level of customization you have over your character and the options you have while interacting with others. Key role-playing features like dialogue trees, skill points, and equipment upgrades are included, with characters who will react in different ways based on your approach and reputation.

The action takes place from a third-person perspective as you complete objectives however you see fit, depending on the direction of your character. Stealth-oriented spies can complete the entire game without killing an enemy, while destructive types can bring out the body armor and heavy artillery. Action points can be assigned to an assortment of attributes, from stealth and pistols to sabotage and technical aptitude, which all lead to different skills. Cash earned by completing missions can also be spent in multiple ways, from powerful weapons on the black market to hiring mercenaries to purchasing various gun modifications for improving stats in areas like damage, accuracy, recoil, stability, and ammunition capacity. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

A week of gaming by: DarthOdium

“Since GamerDNA doesn't track like it use to I'll just squeeze in what games I played over the last week and weekend. Trinity Universe Grind, grind, grind. It was four days of grinding I was able...”

“I've been curious for a while now.. how much time per night do you average playing games? You seem to beat/complete games absurdly fast, based on my own speed. Myself, I get _at most_ 4 hours a night, which can get knocked down to about 2 if I don't catch the right buses or have something else to do after work.”

DarthOdium was the last to comment - over 2 years ago...

“LOL! Yeah I play a lot which would be why I've been single for the last 10 years. Anyway to answer your questions. I average 8 hours of gaming a day. That time decreases depending on my work load of course.

So a normal week for me without using guides or the internet I can beat an RPG in 6 days. With a guide I can push through in 5 sometimes 3 days. This however depends on how much grinding I need to do and if I fall asleep while playing.

I would of been done with Trinity Universe but grinding for so many days I fell asleep out of boredom and had to play a different game.

I'm in front of a computer 24/7 ....well take out the 1 hour a day for the gym. My home and work PC is used for work only. I will tweet, email, and blog but I won't play PC games on them.

So when I'm not designing I'm playing.”

“I haven't played Demon Souls in a while now. I think the last thing I was doing was trying to get the spell that banishes attacking players.”

“I have 2 characters up to 712 and now I'm working on 2 more. Also i think I've run into some European players now that Demon's Souls has released over there. Which is very awesome!”
