Chronicles of Spellborn is a new fantasy MMO in development, slated for a release sometime this year. While boasting an interesting art style and a soundtrack by Within Temptation, the game also features some very different ways of playing through combat and the overall AI.Combat in Spellborn is very different, and may cause some issues when introduced to latency. The player must actively target their enemy with their mouse, throwing away the traditionally passive and repeditive click and button mash technique for something far more involving.
The AI too is a source of interest, as creatures travel in groups, and act as any party would when attacked; the tank runs to the source, the healer stays in range of the tank and the caster will backpeddle and attempt to root the player. This creates a new dynamic in play style, and means utilising different skills and strategies for attacks will be necesarry as the game progresses.Hopefully we'll see something new with Spellborn, and fingers crossed that it won't disappoint like so many others.

Oh you guys have been busy, some nice trailers in there. I'd be interested to see how Arkham Asylum turns out. Ive always liked the darker aesthetic and general atmosphere of Arkham especially as depicted by Neil Gaiman in Sandman and Black Orchid.
