Alpha Protocol: The Mass Effect-Like Series That Might Have Been

Jonathan Bernhardt -
Alpha Protocol was the greatest FPS RPG franchise that never was. Even today it remains a pretty divisive game for those who remember it; at the time, the Obsidian Entertainment-developed, SEGA-published title was released in 2010 on PC/PS3/Xbox 360 to...
