In the end, Murphy deemed it an "Average" MMO with a score of 7. here is an excerpt: For those who haven't played Pirates of the Burning Sea, describing naval combat is a bit hard.

This past week, we had a chance to get a look at the newly created iPhone app that will allow players to access almost every single aspect of the online game from the comfort of wherever they happen to be. It's an innovative feature from an innovative indie company, and for that they get this week's GotW nod. Find out more about the Fallen Earth iPhone app this week as MMORPG.com continues its coverage of the 2010 Game Developers Conference.
