Codemasters Online Gaming is confirmed to be in talks about publishing two new console-based MMO games.

I think current gen consoles are ready. But they need to release PC versions as well and be able to have everyone on the same server no matter the platform.

Wow is ok. I have been playing it for a few months. I have maybe 100hrs in it. Fun game, but not what I was expection. I have almost 900hrs in Guild Wars and I much prefer the quests and PvP in GW to WoW any day. The quests are very dull in WoW. It is just a grind to lvl70. Most of the quests simply are not fun. PvP is way unbalanced. But it is still fun somehow. But not play 12hrs a day every day fun. I play maybe a couple a night if that.

If there's a single one that comes out on consoles with combat that is action-based instead of just die-rolling, I'll buy a 360 in a moment. You can play fighters online, you can play twitch FPS games online... why can't an MMO have a little more reflex work going instead of the standard click-and-roll mechanic? Introduce an element of skill beyond jumping, effective macroing and key-mapping.
