For next week's show we will be interviewing the creators of XBox Live's lobby and achievement system.
Seriously, this isn't an MMO and it should be sites like Massively calling them out for it, not pretending it is and going along with it. It's not some new fancy hybrid game either - just an overblown lobby. I bought the game via Steam because of Massively's previews and I was pissed. Luckily it was still during beta so Steam refunded me the money.
There are some big holes in the field when it comes to MMOFPSs and the first company that makes a WoW without auto-aim is going to clean up. Adventurine came really close with Darkfall - if they had a bigger marketing budget and the game wasn't populated by griefers they might have done it. Will it be Mortal Online? Maybe Blizzards next offering? It certainly won't be this "TF2 in space" known as Global Agenda.
