By now everyone that’s any kind of gaming type has heard World of Warcraft referred to as “Warcrack” and knows how addicting an MMORPG can be; well, there’s a new drug coming in the Fall of 2008.
Yep, Stargate. A Stargate MMORPG. Let that roll around your tongue for a minute…savor it. Ok, you can swallow now. Really. That’s just getting disturbing.
According to the “About” site at Stargateworlds.com, the game is going to be using the Unreal 3 engine, if I read it right. Having never played Unreal Tournament, I can only guess that’s what they’re referring to. I can’t believe I’m actually more stoked about this than I was for Star Wars Galaxies (poodoo!) The ad on the new Stargate: The Ark of Truth DVD looked really good, but there’s no solid indication that it was representative of the actual game; it might have just been some animation to advertise. If it WAS representative, then oh YEAH this is going to be fun!
