I’m quite bored with the Disneyworld approach to social interaction strived for by several MMORPGs. I think I’m ready for something more PvP soon – and a bit of permadeath wouldn’t hurt either. Also, it seems increasingly self-defeating to me to instate rules that roleplaying can never be an excuse to violate the be-nice rules of EULAs. I think my dream MMORPG would have PvP, permadeath (or at least something close) and an advancement system which made sure that even newbies could “physically” threaten experienced players. Oh, and now that I’m reading from the wish-list I would also like to see worlds in which choices actually had long-term consequences even if it meant upsetting carefully established gameplay balances. But I guess I’ve ranted on this before.

Jurassic Park
And then you die…
Gore
The Prince of Persia: Warrior Within demo shows the game to be: Excessively violent, too action-oriented for my tastes, and extremely, untastefully entertaining.
The distorted guitars and heavy drums all add to what is perhaps one of the more truly baroque game experiences I’ve ever had.

This seems a little limited, only this universe? What about parallel dimensions?
Her highness
Okay, no-one’s going to tell me that’s not Princess Leia herself (left side, under the trees). She’s on Naboo, and to think that I sped right past her. The stories to tell one’s grandchildren.
