Bringing New Depth to the Persistent World Shooter

The media bonanza of E3 certainly shines its spotlight on heavy-hitting developers and their publishers, but sometimes it's also the perfect opportunity to take a look at titles that may not be getting the amount of attention they deserve. At this year's conference, Ten Ton Hammer sat down with the developers of Global Agenda for a hands-on preview and came away thoroughly impressed.

We played several in-development persistent world shooters at E3 2009, and GA seemed to offer the best mix of originality and pacing for players that reside more on the MMORPG side of the gaming spectrum. Unlike many of today’s shooters, gore and gut-wrenching displays aren’t a part of GA, and this is an MMO you can definitely play without worrying about the wondering kid factor. When I had to run to my next appointment, I certainly wasn’t finished playing.
