Cody and Reuben look back at a MMO gaming's 2008, which probably got a bad rap. We go on to discuss the three titles we know that (for sure) will launch in 2009, how a console-focus will shape at least two of these titles, which studio will cement its place as the top MMO studio (after Blizzard, of course), and end with Cody's and Reuben's choice of their most outlandish prediction that they think will actually come true.
