Alpha Protocol is a third-person role-playing video game, developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Sega. The game revolves around the adventures of rookie CIA field agent Michael Thorton. Alpha Protocol is played from a third-person perspective, allowing the player to see Thorton and his surroundings at all times. As Thorton is a trained CIA operative, the tools at the player's disposal include numerous firearms, hand to hand combat using Kenpo, and spy gadgets.
In addition to the action elements, though, players also earn Advancement Points, which can be placed into any of the ten different skills in the game. These skills will increase Thorton's ability to use certain weapons and grant different abilities to him. These abilities are free to use, but require a "cooldown" period before they can be used again. One ability that has been mentioned in previews allows Thorton to scan a group of enemies in slow-motion before popping out of cover and shooting each of them more rapidly than he would be capable of normally.

6.0
There are brilliant moments in Alpha Protocol, but they're all but muted by poor gunplay and a list of unfortunate technical issues.

6.0
Alpha Protocol's astounding intricacies are tarnished by bugs, clumsy gameplay mechanics, and rough production values.

7.7
Sega melds espionage action and role playing elements into a spy game that's absolutely worth revisiting at least once after the credits roll.

Dungeon Siege III - Reviews

7.0
based on 5 top critics

8.0
I love a good hack n’ slash adventure, which is why I was excited when I heard Square Enix was teaming up with Obsidian Entertainment to create the newest installment in the Dungeon Siege series. Obsidian is known for picking up other franchises, such as Fallout and Neverwinter Nights, and putting their own touch on them. Luckily with their latest project, Dungeon Siege 3, they’ve produced a solid entry into the glutted Action RPG genre.

6.2
A decent loot-RPG hampered by an unsuccessful story attempt and awkward co-op.

6.5
An errant dungeon crawl.

6.5
Dungeon Siege III is a fun but unambitious dungeon crawler that fails to live up to the games that came before it.

8.0
Old-School Action With A Few New Twists
