The Rise and Fall ... and Rise and Fall ... and Rise of Obisdian

There's a really good piece in Kotaku today the ups and downs of Obsidian.

You might think of Obsidian Entertainment as a mistreated genius, a talented group of game-makers responsible for unappreciated gems like Alpha Protocol and Neverwinter Nights 2. Or maybe you don't have much faith in their development skills after the buggy Fallout: New Vegas and the unfinished Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II. Either way, their story is undeniably fascinating.

It's worth the read. And for the record, Alpha Protocol is amazing and I would buy a sequel in a heartbeat, and Neverwinter Nights 2 is a solid followup to the original.
