Alpha Protocol
Alpha Protocol is an action-RPG that places you in the shoes of a CIA operative, Michael Thorton, who is framed when a mission goes wrong. The game is being developed by Obsidian Entertainment who was formed by former members of Black Isle Studios when the company, responsible for such cult hits as the Fallout series and Baldur's Gate, folded and is published by Sega. It will introduce a morality system described by developers as adhering to one of the "three B's." Bond, who will go by the book, performing operations as the company wants him to, Bourne, who may have his own agenda, but generally keeps the body count from piling up, and Bauer, who gets the job done and doesn't really care what, or who, stands in his way. It will use the Unreal Engine 3.0.

Gary Steinman writes, "Mina might seem normal enough, but Alpha Protocol has its share of quirky characters. 'We used a Kill Bill test,' Parker explains. 'If a character fits in Kill Bill, that's probably too over-the-top. But we don't want them to be just normal suits. That'd be really boring. I don't know how many M60 wielding psychopath blonde girls there are, but there's one in our game!'
Alpha Protocol has already garnered attention for the inclusion of four optional sex scenes each featuring a different woman. There are achievements both for participating in all or none of the scenes. The developers say they were not concerned with potential controversy when they developed the scenes. They have even gone so far as to advocate for further frank exploration of sex among other adult themes in video games.
