He didn't call you anything; FRAPS is a screen-capture program that does exactly what you just described. That would be your best bet, and it's also pretty easy to use. And free.

A sequel would have be nice, but I agree that AP is fairly self-containing. What I do hope to see is a new IP somewhere in the future that takes the good aspects (mainly the dialogue system and C&C) and does something different and original with it. And on the topic of F:NV, I imagine it will get goods reviews since it's part of an established franchise, and it doesn't seem to do all too much different from Fallout 3. Here's to hoping that Obsidian improved the dialogue and characters, though.

I forgot about multiple endings, so I guess I might take back that comment. Without giving away spoilers, though, I'll just say that the ending I got was very anticlimactic. Riding into the sun may be a homage to the spy genera, but I found it rather unsatisfying.

I just finished my first play through of AP, and seeing as it's created some polarizing opinions I might as well give my thoughts on the game. I've never played anything by obsidian or bioware (unless you want to count fallout 1 and 2), so I suppose I could either be a neutral party or have no idea what I'm talking about. Anyhoo, while I did enjoy the game, I felt like a major problem with the game was that it couldn't decide how serious it wanted to be. The combat is obviously meant to be a stylized spy-action sort of thing, with little regard to 'reality'. The problem is, with the exception of a few characters (Sie, Brako and Steven are the only ones that come to mind. And Omen Deng to a lesser extent), almost everybody is rather serious and normal. Neither of these things are bad on their own, but when you combine them together with a mediocre story, the result is rather messy. In terms of the actual game play, which I imagine is more important to most people, it was decent. The stealth system was solid for an RPG (even if that's not saying much), and I didn't notice anything particularly bad with the shooting mechanics or AI, though neither of them blew my mind. I thought the dialogue system was the best part of the game, and I am kind of confused that most of the reviews ignored or dismissed it. The writing was creative and well done, especially compared to RPGs like Oblivion or Fallout 3; even Mike's snarky, sarcastic comments were usually entertaining to listen to. Plus, it was implemented as a primary aspect of the game play with the C&C, which was very impressive to me. Overall, I liked AP. It had some problems, and the ending was terrible, but I like it enough that I'll probably replay it again. Considering that I rarely finish games, let alone replay them, that's good enough for me.
