GameFocus Preview: Jumpgate: Evolution

GameFocus writes: "MMOGs are seriously the bane of my existence. Not that they are bad, just that there are so many of them I want to play. Offering a wide variety of experiences across pretty much every genre imaginable, you’ll be hard pressed to find only one to focus your attention on. That doesn’t even take into account the social or persistent aspects of the whole thing. The Jumpgate franchise repents one such MMO, although it carries a bigger focus on skill-based gaming than some of the others on the market. The first title released back in 2001, during what many consider the tail-end of the early years for MMOs. Jumpgate Classic featured twitch-based space flight-sim combat utilizing "jumpgates" in order to traverse it’s 150 sectors and included PvP, PvE, trading, mining, and other activities. At this year’s E3 I had a chance to sit with the folks at NetDevil to see how the sequel, Jumpgate: Evolution is shaping up."
