December 24, 2006 (Press Release) --
It is barely two years ago that the world of video games saw a real revolution when the World of Warcraft turned participants in an internet community. The concept has been so successful that several new games of a similar nature are coming onto the market next year. But there is plenty to choose from for those who wish to play alone in front of their PC.
Bill Wright, the designer of SimCity and Sims, simply calls his new game Spore. The whole idea is to influence the development of a life form from a single-cellular stage.
In the beginning, the spore floats around aimlessly until it begins forming into multi-cellular life. A species starts developing and eventually builds cities, going on into interplanetary and interstellar flight.
Spore includes elements from Sim, SimCity and Civilization but fans of World of Warcraft (WoW), used to surfing foreign worlds with others will probably look for alternatives in the world of online games.
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is the work of a team that also created Everquest. Different people have to struggle in rebuilding their once great civilizations. A fragile alliance has been struck, with the lands attacked by invading forces, the races must band together to survive. An online community of thousands explores a world of fantasy that includes battles of war and the building of ships.
But when it comes simply to title slogans, then The Lord of the Rings: Shadows of Angmar is already a success. It is the world's first online game based on the literary works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
Players can explore and take part in the adventures of their heroes through the vast reaches of Middle-earth in the fight against the forces of the Dark Lord Sauron.
But that is not all that is new in the world of online video games. Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising takes the players into the world of ancient Rome.
In Chronicles of Spellborn, which is still under development, players take the role of heroes in a post-apocalyptic fantasy setting.
Bounty Bay Online is an online niche where the world is discovered on classic sailing ships. Players can trade goods or choose to become a pirate.
But there is enough to choose from for the lone player. The principle in many of the action videos is the fight with demons and the gathering of objects. Ascaron is planning a pepped-up version of Sacred with Sacred 2.
The developers of Hellgate:London take the battle between the knight and dragon to a London in the year 2038.
But next year will also seen many revamped videos for the fans of soccer, golf or basketball. Collin McRae: Dirt will see a reinvigorated rally ride with a diverse selection of extreme off-road competitions.
