If game development had trending topics a la Twitter, "play in your browser" would be at the top of the list. After all, a game you can play in your browser takes all of the slow download and install times out of the equation. Drakensang Online is the latest such game in development heading for a release, with the closed beta having just begun. If you've never heard of the game before now, don't fret -- applications for testers are still being accepted.
How much social interaction will be present in the game remains to be seen, although the game's page boasts that players can engage in battle with and against other players around the world. There's a definite Diablo vibe to the screenshots and the trailers, so if that's up your alley, it might well be worth taking a look at the game during its beta testing phase.

Gee, yet another "Let's take a good singleplayer game series and water it down for the masses to play fetch-a-quest online".

I know I'm in the minority ... but sometimes I like "fetch-a-quest online" or even "grind + grind = more grind" games. But it's difficult to explain why because I don't like 'em all. For instance Lineage 2 is way too hardcore for me (or at least it was ... I'm curious if it still takes you about a year to hit cap).
I guess I play these kind of games when my brain wants to take a nap but my body wants to stay in front of the PC. Same with Allods.
