Play It Now: 5 Minute MMORPG
5 Minute MMORPG was conceived by the good people of the Copenhagen Game Collective for the 2009 Nordic Game Jam. More tinkering and polish produced the (not so) massively multiplayer satire game you can play for free. In your browser. Right now.
The most interesting aspect of 5 Minute MMORPG is the built-in lag. Meant to mimic “real” MMOs, the feature causes more lag when there are more players alive. It is a mind game that forces you to predict the other players' actions. As the match progresses and players die, the lag dissipates and it becomes a fast-paced action game.
Before you join in on the fun, I recommend putting the word out on Twitter. It worked for me! I've tried playing this game before, and it's about 1000x more fun playing with your friends than the bots that usually fill up a match. If you want to know the next time we all jump in for a game, make sure to follow me on Twitter. I'll keep you in the loop.
