For years now, game designers and publishers have endeavored to capture the hearts of gamers worldwide. These days, it seems that no genre is more popular than the MMORPG. Sony Online Entertainment leads the world in online gaming with its vast assortment of MMORPG games, most of which receive constant support from their ever-growing community. But, look out Sony - Microsoft Game Studios, Sony's number one competitor on the game market, has kicked off a MMO project, called Mythica. Pulling an original concept from the unwavering and always inspirational tales of the Norse mythology, Microsoft Games Studios conjured up an infinite new MMORPG world. Hey, if it's not out of Lord of the Rings or D&D, it's gotta come from Valhalla, right? All the characters and realms of the ancient Norse mythology turn out to be the perfect and solid corner stone for Microsoft's upcoming game. The Valkyries, Asgard, Valhalla, Odin, Thor, Loki, Skadi, and other names all have a place in Mythica (readers of Marvel's comic "Thor" are most likely already familiar with these mythic figures [and for those of you who are not, know that - Thor Will Kick Your Ass. - Ed]).
