Suddenly pirates are back in vogue, it seems, thanks in part to movies such as Pirates of the Carribean (and its two upcoming sequels) and games such as last year's acclaimed Sid Meier's Pirates!. Now pirates are looking to invade the online role-playing genre with Pirates of the Burning Sea, from Seattle's Flying Lab Software. And as we recently discovered, Pirates of the Burning Sea will take the traditional parts of online role-playing games, such as creating a unique pirate avatar to wonder around various Caribbean towns and ports, and it will combine them with realistic naval combat that seems like it's inspired by the movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.
