kotaku.com: The story of Obsidian—a story of heartbreaking failures and record-shattering successes—begins with a company called Interplay, a game developer and publisher best known for games like Wasteland and Descent. Interplay's execs were looking to expand their role-playing game division, and in 1996, they found a young game developer named Feargus Urquhart (pronounced "FUR-gus URK-heart") to take the steering wheel.
i also loved alpha protocol.
i can see the flaws in that game but it didnt take away from my enjoyment.
and i hope for them south park turns out to be great gameplay wise and sales wise (especially for THQ,would hate to see them go after growing up with many of there games).
im not the biggest fan of south park but i could see me enjoy it for a playtrough if the gameplay turns out to be good.
