| |  RPGFan's Best RPGs of E3 2008
The editors at RPGFan have slapped awards on six of the role-playing games that were being showcased at this year's E3. Fallout 3 takes the overall award, but Alpha Protocol is labeled as the best cRPG: Yes, Alpha Protocol is a multiplatform title, not a PC-exclusive release. However, aside from Bethesda's Fallout 3, Alpha Protocol was the game we were most impressed with at the show. It's a bit further out than Bethesda's title, as Obsidian's newest RPG isn't slated until February 2009, but it's shaping up to be a great combination of gunplay, dialogue, and true action-oriented gameplay.
Unlike many Action-RPGs, players in Alpha Protocol have the ability to dodge and roll, similar to games like Gears of War or Dark Sector, they've got access to a realistic dialogue system that doesn't give infinite time for chances, and it's got the RPG backbone that keeps it from being just another shooter. The best thing about Alpha Protocol, however? The fact that players on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 will all have access to it early next year.  |

| | | Each to their own Nightmare, but after the way they screwed up KOTOR 2, and produced the abomination that is NWN 2, I won't touch anything of theirs with 10' Barge pole.

| Is this supposed to be a stealth title or an action title? Reading that bit only gives me the impression that it is an action game trying to pass off as a stealth game.
