The Agency Previews at 1Up and IGN

Two new preview of The Agency have been published. First up is 1Up:

Whether they can put all these pieces together remains the biggest question. The video of the game in action, though, gives plenty of reason to be optimistic about their progress towards that goal. The engine alone gives reason to be confident in the shooting action. Provided they can produce the volume of content necessary to feed an MMO player's appetite with their toolset, the Agency could help PC and PS3 owners start to shed that assumption that all MMORPGs must be a fantasy game.

IGN's report is also based on what they saw at CES: 

This is definitely a game to keep an eye on, even though it has no set release date and, as of now, no real pricing structure. The development team is currently wavering between subscription-based fees, a Guild Wars buy the expansion process, or a pay-per-item type of service (so basically it's still up in the air). It was also mentioned that PC and PS3 players on the same server would not be likely given the hassles of ensuring both version updates are properly synchronized.
