Agency Preview @ ActionTrip

ActionTrip has published a <a href="http://www.actiontrip.com/previews/theagency.phtml" target="_blank">preview</a> of <i>The Agency</i>:<blockquote>Sony Online Entertainment is hardly a beginner in the great and exceptionally crowded world of MMO games. Their experience in this particular genre boasts of games like EverQuest, EverQuest II, PlanetSide, The Matrix Online, Star Wars Galaxies and more. Their next project, The Agency, handled by the company's Seattle branch (SOE Seattle), was described as an espionage-themed online first-person person shooter. Bear in mind, SOE doesn't want players to think The Agency is an MMO in the traditional sense. Albeit details on the gameplay itself are sketchy, The Agency was said to play a lot like a standard FPS, with a good bit of humor injected into it. Naturally, we couldn't help but think 'No One Lives Forever' in a persistent online world. In addition, the game will feature co-op missions (whatever that means in an MMOG - 'two man quest'?), PvP matches, and more.</blockquote>
