Banjo Kazooie 3 Coming 2008

I’ve been a huge fan of the Banjo Kazooie series since the good old days back on the Nintendo 64. When Microsoft announced that Rare is working on a third game to the franchise, I was ecstatic!

With the market so heavily occupied by first person shooters and flight simulators why is this one type of game lacking?

PASSIVELY Multiplayer Online Games?

St. Nick

You’ve seen Massively Multiplayer Online Games, but I believe you’ve never even heard of Passively Multiplayer Online Games apart from a lame joke from that annoying friend. Under development at GameLayers is such a diabolical concept, and it has a ridiculously simple premise which makes me wonder why nobody tried it before.
