That was fine for hermits, but when you can experience all the content, in groups, without ever saying a word, the pendulum has shifted too far in the other direction. Think of it this way. If when you walked into a bar, there was a menu on your table of the people in there and what they had in mind for the rest of the evening and all you had to do was touch a button beside their name and voila, you were off... well, let's just say the marriage rate in the United States would drop really freaking fast.

Visit our boards today! |  | EA snapped up All Points Bulletin (APB) in an E3 announcement. This city shooter MMO is from the mind of David Jones, best known for a little game called Grand Theft Auto.
It's developed in Scotland at Realtime Worlds, a company that also brought Crackdown to the Xbox 360.
Of any game at E3, APB was the one most obviously pushing the boundaries of what is and is not possible in an online game. They've got full directional voice, an absurdly complex character and car customization system and much more.
What makes the game interesting though is their reliance on players as content. Get caught stealing a car? Real players are matched to track down the car jacker.
With polish and a top notch rig, this is definitely one of the most exciting games to watch in 2010.
Check out our E3 preview and video interview.
