Alpha Protocol's launch trailer is almost like the kind of promotional erm...trailer that you'd get for a movie, what with the gravelly voice-over and fast-cut action bits.

"In 60 seconds someone has to die" it begins and then we get to see agent Michael Thorton pounding a treacherous fellow's head into a bar, before pointing a gun at almost every single character thereafter.

It's a nicely put together trailer with explosions, intrigue and plenty of action all packed into just over a minute. How in the hell Thorton will dodge that speeding train though is anyone's guess.

"Time's up. Who's it going to be?" And the trailer ends. The answer? All of them!

Alpha Protocol is out in Europe today and is ready to deploy in North America on June 1st.
