Looking forward to this. I've always found the intrigue the more interesting aspect of spy stories though I don't mind some good action. If this manages to combine the action of Bond/Bourne with the substance of Spy Game without trying too hard to be 'cinematic', I'm in.
Ran across an interesting set of article/interviews with Avellone and others recently:
Setting -
Story -
Characters
They mention the game as well. Colour me intrigued.
