I struggle to think of ANY current gen title that I would begrudge spending $2.00 on. Except maybe Gears of War.
HI-YO!

lololol, i think it's worth the two bucks , the game has a lot of problems but in the end is neat story
$2 for that beard is worth it.
I genuinely enjoyed it for what it's worth. Not all of it, but enough.
I'd rather beat myself in the head with a cudgel until I was brain-damaged enough to think I was in an episode of Archer than give them a dime for Alpha Protocol.
This would be an excellent game for the devs to just throw mod kits out there and go 'alright kids, go nuts'! At least if they haven't already done that.
The game was glitchy and nerfed and didn't have much going for it other than the narrative, but I enjoyed it somehow... beat it several times.

I thought it was pretty fun, some things are broken but the overall experience was still worth it.What's weird is that I didn't have any of the same problems Jim did.
Of Course I just rented it.

Well, ok, you have to be willing to not only put up with the unbalanced gameplay mechanics, but also play it multiple times, to see all the good stuff. So it's perfectly understandable why many people wouldn't like it, especially if you're reviewing the game and don't have time to fuck around with anything other than one straight playthrough.
But if you like screwing around with games and breaking them, then picking this up on sale is a good idea.

Funny, Jim. But for $2, I would say it's worth the gamble. Just realize the game is very much a mess, but there is fun to be had.
Is Aliens Vs Predator worth a Lincoln? Other than that and the Company of Heroes bundle that's on sale this weekend, I find myself draw to the D&D games sale going on at GOG.
While it may not be a good game, $2 is not a bad price at all. I bought it to see how it plays out and to see what all the frustrations were about.
Uh, any game where you can sleep with four different women of four different nationalities is worth $2.
I'd rather spend the money on the Sega Classic Pack #4 - Shining in Darkness, Shining Force 1 + 2, Streets of Rage 1 + 2 and a couple of others.
It most certainly is! It is one of the few RPGs that dares to go out of fantasy or sci-fi territory. It takes choice and consequence and branching storylines further than any other game I know of. A character which for one player becomes a valuable ally can be a mortal enemy for another, and a third player never met this character.
You can get special perks depending on which conversational stances you use, if you are pacifist, violent or in-between, some special conversational options, as well as which skills and weapons you use the most.
Dialogue is timed, you only one or two seconds to select an answer which creates a lot of tension, and you have to try to read a character very quickly - no "select the aggressive answer to win conversation". Sometimes getting a character pissed off at you is the best way to achieve your goals.
Unlike Deus Ex:HR, you really have to specialize, you don't get skill/praxis points so that you can max out everything, and you really have to learn how to play the character you created. Bosses in Alpha Protocol, unlike DX:HR have personalities, back stories and a motive for fighting you.
It has a large cult following...just look at the Penny Arcade forums for instance.
