Alpha Protocol review - 84% in GamesMaster

GamesMaster's verdict on Alpha Protocol is in and it's a favourable one at that.

The mag's awarded Sega's espionage RPG a very respectable 84% thanks to its, "dynamic shooting, insane levels of customisation and a thumping near-future dose of espionage and sinister conspiracy."

About what I expected. I expect that this game will get some decent pre-release reviews, then a whole lot of post-release criticism.

Montrealien5102d ago

Sometimnes I wonder why people feel the need to share such Debbie Downer type of comments.

/on topic

We just received this today, I am looking forward to trying it out tonight, looks promissing.

Montrealien

Please post some impressions. I have this on preorder and paid but would like to know if I should keep it. Thanks.

Xof So an 84 is NOT good now? When did you start gaming? Back in the day an 84 was a must play!

despair5101d ago

i've bought and enjoyed games with a lot lower score than 8.4, not good HA.

I just wonder if Mass Effect would have got about the same scores if it was multi platform.. I think it probably would have..

Cold 20005102d ago (Edited 5102d ago )

According to your "logic" I guess GOW3 would have got the same scores as Dante's Inferno if it was multi.

BeaArthur5102d ago

It was multiplatform. The PC is a platform, so no, you would be wrong.

jetlian5102d ago (Edited 5102d ago )

PC is not a platform. it has no standard whatsoever. in any case the game looks tight. should have it by next weekend

Montrealien5102d ago (Edited 5102d ago )

What is a platform jetlian? I am interested in your definition.

while I am at it, out of curiosity, can I have a functional computer with just a mothboard, no ram and a screen? Or should I follow the PC standard of having ram, a HDD, a mother board, a proccesor and a videocard? all conected to a screen? And also, does windows have standards?

I am sorry, but your comment just makes no sense what so ever to me. just one flaw in your statement, by definition alone, an operating system is a computing platform.

Bolts5101d ago

Jetlian clearly has no idea what a platform is.

jetlian5101d ago (Edited 5101d ago )

part of "No standard whatsoever" do you not understand. You buy a pc game you have to "HAVE TO" look at its spec to see if you can play the game. A 360,wii,ps3 or any other system so long as the game is for that system theres nothing to worry about.

Even this... how many PC's did NPD show sold from jan - march 31? They don't include pc sales in a game consoles sales. Another thing Who is the first party leader on PC gaming? For wii=nin, ps3=sony, 360=MS PC= who?

Not to mention the fact that ME2 is clearly heads above Alpha Protocol, thats not to say its a bad game at all.

Kahvipannu5101d ago

Obviously you haven't played ME. You should, ME1 combined ME2 is one of the greatest things in gaming.

Play games, not platforms.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga82d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics82d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend82d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long82d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons82d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor82d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5282d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60282d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv7282d ago

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor82d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

autobotdan1051d ago

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1051d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1051d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1050d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1050d ago (Edited 1050d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
