E3 2008
The last time I had the chance to talk to Hal Milton it was when he was showing of Mythica a few years back. If the name doesn't ring a bell it's because Microsoft pulled the plug on the game (one of the first signs that Microsoft doesn't have the stomach for MMO's) He's now working at SOE on The Agency, a new spy themed MMO. What's I didn't expect was how cool the setting of the game is. They've gone the cartoony route and while the game isn't quite Team Fortress 2 there's a very unique look and feel to the game. They are also going the tongue in cheek route for the backstory of the game. Think In Like Flynt rather than Austin Powers though.
The game also has a few other cool features like how the game is mostly classless, and what equipment you use determines your role in the game. I also like thow they've implemented a few EVE Online like features where you can have henchmen working on items while you go about your day job and they will e-mail or text you when they've completed their tasks. For more information on the game and how both men and women have breast physics, check out this interview wiht Mr. Milton.
