Game: The Agency
It's actually kind of interesting -- if you're on Facebook I'd honestly recommend giving it a try! I'm not sure how long it'll hold your attention, but it's not as annoying as those other Facebook games like Mafia and Farmville, at least at first glance. Perhaps there is something more nefarious I have yet to discover!
I am no SOE fan these days, but the whole package does look fun for the right crowd, tho I would guess its MT cash shop powered so even if it was for me I wouldnt be playing it. It looks like it will have a market IF soe bother promoting it. This could hit the Fusionfall/ post Freerealms niche pretty easy. Marketing isnt something SOE have ever done well tho.
Maybe some of those MT profits could go into funding a bigger dev team on Vanguard and putting out a big assed exp/ relaunch pack so that the adults have something to play? No? Screw ya then :P

For a moment there, and I mean the ENTIRE video, i thought this WAS the "Agency" 's promo video. My jaw was on the ground with "THE F happened to all their work?!".
This video was is EXTREMELY poor taste, and should have been done with a different title as it's VERY confusing and misleading!
Been playing this game on Facebook for a while now and I have to say it is the most enjoyable FB game I have played. It is FAR more enganging than most any other out there. It is still in a "beta" state and they often release new features and mini-games. It was meant to help advertise the MMO of The Agency but is a great stand alone game of its own.
It won't be for everyone but give it a go if you are on Facebook. I have lots of friend playing it.
For a moment i felt i was watching The SIms trailer lol

It is a spy game after all.

Wed May 05 2010 11:43PM ReportThis is just a game to PROMOTE The Agency, right...and not the game itself....? I hope. If it's promotion FOR the game....it's brilliant.

That's marketing at it's best...
Thu May 06 2010 2:32AM ReportIt's a Facebook game tie-in guys, it's not the actual MMO. :)
Thu May 06 2010 9:03AM ReportThat's quite a lot of work for a Facebook game! Hope it didn't detract too much from developing the ACTUAL game...
