The Games Of 2008
KeyWord: MMORPG, WoW Date: 01-14-2008
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.

Aion: Tower of Eternity
NCsoft
NCsoft Seoul
TBA

Aion is one of NCsoft's next big MMO releases, and it certainly looks good, if nothing else. Powered by Crytek's CryEngine, the game incorporates a distinct look that appears both rendered by computers and hand drawn. If NCsoft can deliver on gameplay the same way that it has apparently nailed the graphics, Aion could be a hit.

APB
Webzen
Realtime Worlds
TBA

David Jones is the creator of Grand Theft Auto, so he knows a thing or two about being a videogame bad guy. With last year's Crackdown, his studio, Realtime Worlds delivered a highly enjoyable take on the sandbox genre, this time from the perspective of a super agent charged with taking out the bad guys. APB will finally marry the good and the bad in an MMO format. A turf war between cops and gangs has erupted, and players can choose either side. Could this be the "Grand Theft MMO" that we've been waiting for?
