No one would question the increasing depth of the MMO genre. Some would go so far as to call the MMO market niche "saturated"- but we believe that the explosive growth of World of Warcraft only shows the enormous potential - the nascent yet accelerating power to entertain and interact - of massively multiplayer online gaming. We especially celebrate these games - MMOs that widen the genre, pushing the creative and technical envelope- all in the name of delivering a challenging and immersive perpetual world gaming experience.

E3 is all about the future of gaming, and if these newcomers and rising stars are any indication, the future of the MMO genre looks very bright.
