Alpha Protocol is a unique concept that combines stealth, action, RPG-elements, and a complex plot. In some ways its similar to Deus Ex. Although this game has a few flaws, most places have it for less then $15 and at that price its well worth the time invested. Too bad gamers won't ever see a sequel. Are there any other games that could be considered espionage RPGs?
