Obsidian Entertainment's Alpha Protocol will be out on October 6th. It is official.

Tired of RPG's with the typical collection of dragons, elves and dwarves? Or the slightly less common collection of aliens, space ships and pulse rifles? Then you might be interested in Alpha Protocol, which gives a RPG gaming spin to the spy thriller.

Another dev diary for the game went up today. Surprisingly, it looks like the graphics have been raised a small notch since the last time we see saw some Alpha Protocol footage. Guess the crew at Obsidian is putting the pedal to the medal in this final stage of polishing the game in anticipation of release. 

Is it just me, or does Lead Artist Aaron Meyers bear a passing resemblance to Robert Downey Jr. ?

As an added bonus for you possible Neo-fans of the game, some previously unseen cam gameplay footage from E3 was submitted by a user to GameTrailers today. Here it is.

And last but not least, the box art was also shown today for the first time (as pictured below and left). Have to say, don't find it particularly eye-catching myself. What about this fan-made box art instead (below, right)?
