Acclaim reopens, focuses on MMOGs

The Acclaim we grew up with is dead–we've known this for months, but the reforged company has a new website and is seeking beta testers for its new title Bots, a free MMOG that hopes to stay afloat using in-game advertising and micro-transactions.

The only other game mentioned on their rather simple website is 9Dragons, but little is shown of the game besides some pretty pictures and a short CG movie. As GameIndustry
notes, new owners Howard Marks and Ken Chan hope to "build a community that leverages the familiarity with and loyalty to the Acclaim brand."

Loyalty to Acclaim, eh? Call us cynical, but Turok this is not.
