I held off Alpha Protocol when it was released because of the poor reviews, but $7.50 is extremely tempting. I see some people here saying $7.50 is still too much. If I typically enjoy wrpgs (liked all of Bethesda and Bioware's output to varying degrees. Enjoyed a lot of the wrpgs this gen from smaller devs as well), why would or wouldn't I like Alpha Protocol?

Anyone else re-order their wishlist and have it show up in the right order on your wishlist screen, but not on the contest screen?
The shooting isn't great, the combat isn't great, the game's technical performance isn't great, some of the characters are sort of lame. Most distressingly, the game's balance is awful and it's very easy to totally mis-upgrade your character. Focus on stealth+pistols for your first runthrough.
On the other hand, it's a lengthy game with a lot of cool mission designs, some great dialog, neat cinematography, and some good twists in the plot. It's enjoyable from start to finish and the pacing is great. While the Bourne/Bond/Bauer system doesn't quite work, it's still pretty amusing. One of the things that I like the most is that there are no wrong decisions; alienating or befriending a given character or faction is up to you, but no matter what you do you won't be handicapped so you really do have freedom to unfold the game the way you want to.
Examples of just one way you can play your character:Spoiler alert: Agent Michael Thorton is a Psychopath, a comedy video of what happens if you pick all the asshole dialog lines. Much much more sociopathic than Commander Shepard is a Jerk.

I was wondering the same thing. Not like any of us have a chance of winning this thing though. Unless they are using style points to decide who wins. In that case it's as good as mine.

Alpha Protocol's gameplay is generally poor and the writing isn't anything great, but the game is worth that price, especially if you are a RPG fan who likes good choice and consequences system.

Yes, I know you've signed in. But you haven't. Look up to the top of the screen. See how you're not signed in? You have to sign in twice to edit your wishlist.

Bloodlines is the game that will make or break this year's Steam sales.

Yeah, it's the same for me. I'm guessing the contest page doesn't update immediately. I hope anyway, I'd be sad if I won, and I ended up getting the crap I had listed as my Top 5. :lol

Can you put pre-orders on the wishlist ?
I mean, stuff like Portal 2 aren't priced yet.
Will they actually gift that ?

I've got a question if somebody wants to help me out, I've really got no clue on how all this works.
My wife bought Resident Evil 5 through steam when it was on sale for Halloween. She wants to play it Co-op with me.
Right now RE5 is on sale here for $10. If I purchased it from there is there any way I could play it with my wife?

That made me wonder, what happens if you win and ALL of your top 5 are unreleased games (like Portal 2).GWX said:

Yeah co-op is done through Games For Windows Lives so it doesn't matter where you get the game.RuneFactoryFanboy said:

Cool. We can definitely co op sometime. Ill warn you in advance: I suck badly. For some reason, this has a different FPS feel to me so that sometimes I feel overwhelmed. I never seem to have enough health packs :lol
EDIT: My wishlist is 16 games long and they all show up fine on the wishlist page and contest page.
