ArcheAge is a sandbox theme park (or sand park) MMORPG that aims to be freed from predefined paths and progression.

The level of freedom allowed to players is certainly impressive, as you are able to set forth on whatever path you desire. Fight, gather, craft, transport, trade, build, sail, or become a pirate, in this player driven economy the choice is yours.

You can build massive castles and lay claim to land, band together to protect your fortune in epic siege battles and naval combat or live the life of an outlaw, prying glory and coin from foes left in your wake and pirating trade ships on the open seas.

Gatherers, crafters, and traders can master diverse skills to craft goods and homes, galleons and castles. Transport and trade materials across the realm, braving danger and piracy to support your allies in wars that will change the fate of the world.

ArcheAge is due for release on the 16th of September, but you can sample it early during the Open Beta test, starting today until the 8th.

alpha-beta-gamer:

Velvet Sundown is a very different type of role-playing game, a game where you actually take on the role of the character - a guest on a luxury yacht - with you and four other players building a  45 minute long story.

Each time you play Velvet Sundown you’ll be set up with a new identity for you to embody, interacting and chatting with other players, using charm and charisma to convince other players to follow your suggestions, allowing you to fulfil your objectives.   Whether you’re a journalist, playboy, businessman or international spy, you each have your own objectives which can only be achieved with social interactions with other players.

Chatting is facilitated through a text-to-chat system, which means that everyone sounds a bit like Siri, but also means that there are no preformed conversation paths, you can say whatever you want to whoever you want.  This allows for some wonderful free-form story-crafting, with love, scandal and espionage all commonplace on this luxury yacht.  Much like our recently featured Storium, Velvet Sundown is a game that thrives on social interaction and creativity, as such, if you’re playing with the right people it can be a blast.

UPDATE: Velvet Sundown is now in Open Beta on Steam.  Board the luxury yacht now, Free!
