Summary: If PC gaming is dead, then we are necrophiliacs of the worst sort. Next-Gen concludes its Games of 2008 features with the PC platform. Wrath of the Lich King, Pirates of the Burning Sea, War and Age of Conan all appear on the website of Next-Gen's list of the Games of 2008.

Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning
Electronic Arts
EA Mythic
Q2 2008

In the age of World of Warcraft, it may seem bold to come out with an MMORPG that has orcs, priests, goblins and dwarves. But EA Mythic is a confident studio. Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning looks to seamlessly blend PvE and PvP experiences through the implementation of "Realm vs. Realm" conflicts, which could prove to be the game's defining factor¡ªenough to set it apart from other fantasy MMORPGs.

The Agency
Sony Online Entertainment
SOE Seattle
TBA

The more we hear about The Agency, the more our interest is piqued. It's essentially a game that revolves around massively multiplayer espionage. Judging from reports in the consumer press, the MMO actually sounds like it is doing something very different with the genre, and has all the potential to reach a wide audience thanks in part to its unique premise. Interesting innovations in character management, mission types, persistence and NPC interaction make The Agency a game to watch.
