    While we're not in the business of promoting every MMO Kickstarter project we see (no, really), we do feel like it's in all of our best interests to spotlight the particularly interesting ones. Fractal Entertainment's SideQuest is a good example of one of these MMO Kickstarter projects that grabbed our attention. Promising a deep single-player campaign with MMO PvP and endgame elements, this browser-based game has a long list of features that make it sound unique and exciting to play. And if you read through their Kickstarter pitch, you can tell that this game will have a wicked sense of humor. The best news is that Fractal Entertainment seems to be willing to make this game even if their Kickstarter campaign doesn't meet its goal, but the extra funding will be going towards making it bigger and better than it already will be. So check out their Kickstarter page, thumb through the rewards, and browse the game's features. This might just be the browser-based game you've been looking for.

Through this new weekly column, Kylie will explore the impact of PlayStation on thought and culture. I have returned, noble fanboys and fangirls! Yes returned to the land of milk and honey - if by milk you mean PixelJunk Eden and by honey you mean Soulcalibur IV. As I sat in my car staring at long stretches of side quest highway for hours, drooling at the though of returning home to days upon days of new games and DLC (not to mention resolving the heart-wrenching gamus interruptus of a few key titles ), I couldn't help but wonder if my extended absence from the PS3 had taught be anything. Besides the hard lesson that I most definitely need to invest in an HDMI capable monitor - or even better, a PS3 laptop - what did I learn from 6 weeks of quality time with naught save my PSP?
