Set at the turn of the 17th century, 1701 will ambitiously combine colony building, real-time combat, exploration, diplomacy and trade. Early images are amazingly vivid and ...

There's people that do Club Penguin, or Maple Story, games that are more simple to play, and people like Disney buy them for $500-$600 million and no one bats an eyelid and everyone goes off and makes another Bioshock.

Outside of scant ESPN coverage or the occasional Lost reference, sailing doesn't get a whole lot of attention here in the states. So you'd be forgiven if the term "America's Cup" conjures an image of patriotic protective sports gear. The newest entry in the Virtual Skipper series has obtained the America's Cup license and the race happy lads behind TrackMania intend to make full use of it.
