didn't sega cancel the Aliens RPG that was supposed to be made by Obsidian?

This could be their way of paying them back...by releasing a buggy game. :)

I'll see how buggy this is next week first hand.

Really?  That's how you view it?  Not that Sega saw how this game was turning out so it cancelled the other??

the thing is, these guys did some awesome games in the past, and are releasing Fallout:New Vegas later this year. They rarely do bad games...

Combined with the fact that the Aliens RPG was finished when sega decided to cancel it, and you got yourself a grudge.

Ok, but what's the difference with Alpha Protocol (and, in effect, the Aliens RPG) on this list of Obsidian games:

• Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II The Sith Lords (2004) (Xbox, PC)
• Neverwinter Nights 2 (2006) (PC, Mac OS X)
• Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer (2007) (PC)
• Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir (2008) (PC)
• Alpha Protocol (2010) (PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3)
• Fallout: New Vegas (2010)^[2] (Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3)

Once you see that, you'll understand what has always been my concern about this game, because I soooooooooooooooo wanted it to be as great as the potential seemed.  Mass Effect meets Splinter Cell was a dream to me ...
