The Agency is an MMO that incorporates the cinematic feel of spy movies in an attempt to bring a more mainstream audience to the online community. It will be released on the PS3 and PC, and you will receive certain updates about in game events and new updates from "contacts" (your agents in game) through a cell phone. The game mechanics aren't just in a FPS setting although that is a large part of the gameplay. It's possible to race/escape from scenes, sneak into certain bases, go club hopping and take pictures for intel, etc. There seems to be an emphasis on allowing the player to take any sort of approach to solving a problem, even if it's not a combat oriented solution. The graphics are smooth, although it does have sort of a light hearted/silly feel. Definitely one to look out for.

I was able to see the trailer for it at the SOE Fanfaire, and Walrus told us a lot of how it works. DEFINATELY a must play. There are a few unique elements to it that I am really wanting to try out. Keep your eyes peeled for this one!

This looks like a new game that I'd definitely want to try, it's just I hope this isn't going to replace MxO. >_>

QFT. I can't wait to get a play on this, the developers who were attending were extremely impressive when talking about the game and what it offers in the future.

They spoke faster than auctioneers though. I was in awe about halfway through.

They should make it so that you have to have 30 days of play time to get a trial key actually.
