Yes, I know this site is primarily about console games, but:

1) We have discussions about the existance of God

2) I'm a huge PC Gamer

So I think it would be acceptable for me to show some PC Game previews. The first I'll show is Hellgate: London:

I'm sure many of you know that I'm a wee bit tired of hack n' slash games, but I can still play them (I'm playing Resident Evil 4 right now), especially when they're multiplayer. Hellgate: London is an MMORPGFPS. Omgwtfbbq, you say? Yes, it's true! It's built by many of the developers of Diablo, who have since left Blizzard. It features the same open ended design, where you can enter "dungeons" and portions of the games content repeatedly, and every time you do the dungeon is rebuilt randomly.

I'm hoping this game can be a true test of skill in an MMO game, because (at the moment) I don't feel that most really tax skill level to a high degree. FPS tend to take more skill to multi-play than RPGs do, so it's a start.

It may be coming to the 360...

"NamcoBandai’s director of business development Zach Karlsson tells Next-Gen about the company’s plans for creating new IP, and for moving current IP across more platforms. Looks like Hellgate: London (pictured) is Xbox 360 bound, for one thing…."

 That's good news for 360 fans. Hope it does well. We've had several discussions about this already today: I do hope that MMOs start gaining traction in the console market soon.
