#979 - Microsoft & Ankama join forces, Aion takes Korean Game of the Year honors, much more!
Loading... today spills what we know of Microsoft's bid to build a console MMO with Ankama. NCSoft's Aion grabs top 2008 game (not just MMORPG) honors, pointing to a brighter future for the beleagured developer/publisher when the game releases in region 1.
And we have a few more entries for the 2008 Holiday events list, a new comic, two new guides, an epic forum thread about an epic game, and lots of news you can't use (but it's funny) in today's Loading.... Grandma Got Run Over by a Publisher.
