The very first role-playing game that I ever bought was Ultima IV for the Commodore 64, and ever since then I've been a huge fan of designer Richard Garriott, aka the legendary Lord British. In addition to the Ultima games, Lord British created the first major massively multiplayer online role-playing game, Ultima Online. Now Lord British and his team are putting the finishing touches on Tabula Rasa, a sci-fi MMORPG that's been in the works for over five years. We caught up with Lord British and producer Starr Long for the details.
Next up is Medal of Honor: Airborne, the next game in EA's World War II first-person shooter franchise. The really interesting thing about Airborne is the approach to the game. In most first-person shooters, you're just along for a tightly controlled ride that plays the same every single time. In Airborne, you can decide your ride, as you have control over where you land on the map, which has a huge impact on how the rest of the battle unfolds. To find out more, read our designer diary with the game's producer.
