GameSpot has begun hosting a series of Alpha Protocol developer diaries, with the first installment offering commentary from Obsidian Entertainment's Feargus Urquhart, Chris Avellone, Chris Parker, and Ryan Rucinski. There's a lot of new gameplay footage within (including a look at the lockpicking mini-game), as well as a few choice quotes about the storyline and how much freedom the player will have in choosing their own motivation in the game.
