Quite true, in today's next gen game market bad graphics can kill a game. Poor visuals that don't support great gameplay don't do the game any good, and Alpha Protocol looks like it is gonna ghave gamplay and graphics that are great. I can see reason behind them delaying it to avoid competing with Mass Effect 2, but then again the two games don't seem very related to me. I found Mass Effect 2 to be on ok game; they removed things that sucked, but changed thigns that didn't need changing. I wasn't really blown away by ME2, it seemed like more of the same. Here's to Alpha Protocl being an awesome espionage action game.
