Review: Great article, but Counter-Strike isn't an MMO, it's a FPS that allows 16-32 players. MMO's have numbers in the hundreds, if not thousands.

Review: Very informative article. I wonder if we'll be seeing more of this.

Review: That's odd, considering that in-game advertising is not new to "The Sims," though those have all been extras, not actually in the game itself. The original Sims had a McDonald's food cart, Intel computer and some others. "The Sims 2" has a Fiat Punto and an Intel computer. The worst game is probably Electronic Art's "Need for Speed Underground 2" which has billboards for things like banks and deodorant, has Best Buy buildings in the game as you drive around, and has a Cingular Wireless symbol on the screen at all times while you are driving. Among recent games, "The Movies" from Activision is pretty ba - you are forced to watch ATI and Intel ads when the game starts, and there is in-game advertising for those two as well as for Chrysler and Nokia.

Review: Makes me like Electronic Arts! I am sick to death of 'in your face' advertizing. And I'm so sick of it I have begun to do my one man boycott of those brands/manufacturers that do it, even if that does mean all of them! I don't have to buy.
