Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

GAMES will push the PS3 over the top eventually...3 killer games will sell loads of systems:
Uncharted 3

The biggest thing that will shift consoles is a price cut or new SKU. The PS2 was so successful as the slim form factor and price cut made it accessible to a wide consumer base. The PS3 is still not priced for the mainstream.
I'm still undecided about KZ3. The visuals and multiplayer look splendid but the single player has me concerned.
