Full-on “everything that’s happening in MMOs” roundups are exactly the kind of thing I don’t really have time to write at the moment. So it’s fantastic to find a really comprehensive roundup of what’s going on in the gaming scene.
Spinks has provided just that, in one article – a really comprehensive roundup of everything that’s happening in and around the increasingly huge MMO industry, complete with links to bloggers discussing that news. It’s a great – and surprisingly swift – read:
