Forthcoming MMORPGs
-pms-mistletoe writes "Just in time for E3, Joystiq is taking a look at all the MMORPGs currently in development, giving a rundown of each one and an overview. From the article: 'Massively multiplayer online games, known by a series of acronyms beginning with MMO, are a rising trend among developers. With monthly fees meaning regular income, and a player base too addicted to stop, developers trip over themselves to enter this lucrative market."
hello kitty online and naughty america.... where does the line start?
Thinking of PvE and X-Men arcade cabinets, I remember one night in the late 90's when one my friends and I went out to look for a game to rent for his N64. The only criteria was that we wanted a game where we could both at the same time beat the crap out of something that wasn't each other (using X-Men as our example in case you were wondering the connection). Not one single game at any of the 3 rental stores in our area had any such game for the N64. Utterly disappointing. I'll never understand why co-op playing against a computer enemy isn't mroe popular than it is.
Oh and just so you don't change your opinion of slashdotters any time soon:
"I prefer challenges where I go up against something hard with my friends"
I've got something hard you and your friends can go up against.
You start out in a small bedroom with only a few pairs of ripped jeans and t-shirts. Early missions involve looting mom's purse for money to go to the local hotspot to see your friend's crummy band.
As you go up in levels, you are given the skills needed to talk mom and dad into letting you move into the basement, and eventually at higher levels you'll reach the elusive status of 'Van Ownership'.
Challenges you might face include losing your skanky girlfriend, getting busted for pot, or discovering that preppy button down dude down the street is smarter then you after all.
I dunno. Too close to home?
The Internet is generally stupid
