A new release date for Obsidian Entertainment’s Alpha Protocol was announced by SEGA earlier yesterday morning. The title will hit retail shelves October 6, right before the holiday season AAA rush. Many of you have been waiting for the espionage RPG to hit for some time now -- Obsidian has delayed it more than once. But from what we saw recently at E3 2009 and considering the recent video, it appears as though the game is better for it. It sucks to wait, sure, but in the end we generally get a better product.

Speaking of Alpha Protocol, the fourth developer diary was released along with the fresh release date information. After six hours of downloading, we’re still not ready to upload the video. The good news is that you can click over to Giant Bomb and watch it there, so no worries.

The diary explains some of the intricacies of the relationships you can create with the major players in the game, as well as details a few locations. It’s not a bad watch if you’re as hot for Alpha Protocol as we are. Check it out.

17 minutes of Brutal Legend with Tim Schafer screenshot

We at Destructoid cannot get enough of Brutal Legend. Everything about this game is going to be so awesome!

A new video for the game was released and it shows off the first 17 minutes of the game. All of this was covered in our preview already, but this video also has Tim Schafer walking us through the entire thing which makes it 100 times better.

There’s just something about Tim Schafer that’s so … magical. Like, he could be selling a wrecked car filled with flaming dog sh*t and I know he’d be able to convince me that it’s the best thing ever. I'd end up buying three off of him due to his charm.

I am so looking forward to Rocktober when Brutal Legend is released. How about you? Hit the break to check out the new video.
