After universal praise for Grand Theft Auto IV, Rockstar Games is going exclusive by developing a PlayStation only game called Agent. Announced as part of the flurry of games at Sony's PlayStation Press Conference this week in Los Angeles, Agent sends players back in time to the height of the Cold War at the end of the 1970s as they'll find themselves entrenched in counter-intelligence, espionage and political assassinations.

"We have always enjoyed making action games, and with Agent we are making what we believe will be the ultimate action game," said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. "Agent is a game we have wanted to make for a long time. The team in Edinburgh is doing an amazing job combining intense action, atmosphere and story in a great period setting to create something that feels quite unique. We cannot wait for people to experience this game."

Rockstar North, assigned with the game's creation, is best known for work on Manhunt, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, GTA IV and several other games. With that in mind, we can't wait to hear more about Agent.
