Okay, internet gaming kicks off, and it seems like a great idea, but am I missing something seriously big here?
Surely the whole point of the thing was interactivity, but all I've stumbled across is various spins on multiplayer with distance.
It seemed like an obvious direction for at leat some games to be very much based on creating social interaction, a kind of virtual bar where you could have a game of pool, darts maybe, cards, board games, just anything with the emphasis on the people as much as the game itself.
Have I missed something? It seems like the closest to this kind of thing is pogo.com and dodgy rpg's, which seems very odd with the rise in casual 'social' gamers, there must be a huge market for it?

I Would like to announce the return of Mr John Farnworth (aka Johnny be good) to the world of technical diving.
Johnny's had a year off, due to the birth of his daughter Jasmine, but is now back with a vengence.
He has just ordered an inspiration vision (fully loaded) and starts his training in May.
Welcome back Johnny from all your mates at Aquamania.

When the superfast broadband modem comes out, expect the internet to become a little more revolutionary (if they tried something like that now then it would take years to download!)
