"According to Funcom game director Gaute Godager, it will begin as a single-player RPG adventure, and when that portion's story is complete, it will let players bring their characters into an MMORPG universe."
This does sound kind of cool, but... how many people want to pay for an MMORPG for months and months, and then finally work their way up to the point where you can actually play it as an MMORPG? Well, who knows, it'll be interesting to see if it succeeds!
"oh no! he's going into cardiac arrest! We must save him!"

"Phew! good work everyone!"
I wonder why they just don't make these things net ready? I mean, I suppose the demand for net gaming on a handheld is limited... but as this article shows, it wouldn't be that difficult... the hardware is already there!
my problem with an experiement like this is that only people who actually bought stuff after veiwing/listening to it through file sharing are recorded here. What about all of those people who don't buy their movies after they download them, even though they enjoy them? Not that I'm supporting the RIAA or MPAA in any way, but people are still getting a free lunch at their expense. I suppose that their revenue does go up from file sharing, but will it be that way forever? If file sharing became more accepted, would people still go out and buy their CDs and DVDs after downloading them off of various file sharing programs?
ok, I don't mean to get nintendo fans mad at me, but I always found the Metroid games very boring. Sure, when you get to explore and fight bosses they're a total blast! But it suffers from something that I believe to be the biggest drag in any video games, backtracking. Even with a pretty face like Metriod Prime, backtracking is still backtracking, and doing things like trudging from one point to get an item or flip a switch, only to have to go back through the same area a dozen times or so doing fetch quests, it get's very old and repetitive.
I got that too!
did we just... SLASHDOT GOOGLE!?
*whipes a tear from his eye*
this is a proud day at slashdot! I think everyone deserves a pat on the back
and now for something completely different,a man and his musical mice
honestly though... this seems like a more humane way of letting those poor mice express themselves!

they will, but it'll just be Steve Ballmer in a wig...
RIAA could possibly come to campus to speak about file-sharing
I can only imagine the volume of students who would attend such and informative and exciting speech!
don't worry, Cinergy wasn't slashdotted, it was just a bad link actual Cinergy site
