Role playing games with a contemporary setting are few and far between. While there seems to be no end to the hordes of third person shooters and first person shooters set in the real world, the RPG, for some reason - doesn't often leave its comfortable fantasy settings for a journey into the real world. Enter Obsidian Entertainment and their latest title, Aplha Protocol.

Intertwining RPG mechanics with a modern-day Spy, and a plot surrounding terrorists, the fate of the world and other typical RPG-fare, Alpha Protocol's finer details are discussed in depth in this new developer diary. Featuring the commentary of many of the development team who are currently working on the game, an insight is given to the far-reaching consequences of a player's actions, along with a reveal of the game's interface.

As can also be expected, new gameplay footage is also on offer in the video.
