Blueside announced the first Massively Multiplayer Online Action Real-Time Strategy game in the history and it is no other than the Kingdom Under Fire II, a series which is known for combining action with RPG elements since 2001, and starting with the Xbox 360 versions launched this month under the title Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, the creators went deeper into the action complexity adding more RPG elements.

The developer brought the game back in its RTS origins and with action elements addition it will allow thousands of gamers to access the new MMO mode in a battle with epic proportions, with single-player and multi-player campaigns available and a fresh story about the battle over power between the Dark Legion and the Human Alliance.

Kingdom Under Fire II is expected to be released sometime next year being prepared for a worldwide launch for PCs and consoles, after Blueside finishes the project related to the title discussed with Phantagram, and after the publisher is chosen.

It seems that the Japanese horror movie The Ring inspires new video games such as Project Origin which centers the action on the Alma character and now Funcom adds similar elements from the movie in its game called The Secret World which is in development phase for PC and Xbox 360, with the release date unknown.

I can say it’s a good inspiration for a MMO as this movie scared me a lot, and I like what the product manager, Erling Ellingson said about the action.
It takes place in our world but there is another world beyond ours, where monsters are ruling among some very dark conspirations, myths and legends.

The large team is working now in creating a huge and believable environment for the game, including vast cities such as London and New York which would reveal new experiences in this massive online game.

According to The NPD Group, Chart Track and The GFK Group, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare developed by Infinity Ward was the no.1 title in units worldwide for 2007, being sold in excess of 7 million units worldwide since the November launching.

The FPS video game gathered over 18 perfect score reviews and more than 40 mixed Editors’ Choice and Game of the Year awards, and this was only in US.
There have been added 10 nominations for famous Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences including the Game of the Year category, while at this moment it occupies the first place in Xbox 360 titles on Xbox Live, counting only the unique users.

"We're very excited about this achievement especially given so many competitive titles this year," declared Will Kassoy, senior vice president, global brand management, Activision Publishing, the leading worldwide developer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment. "Consumer and critics agree that Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is one of the best games ever created and further establishes Call of Duty as one of the premier brands in the industry,” added he. “This ground-breaking game and franchise continue to establish new standards by which all other action games will be judged."
