"As online gaming becomes more efficient and user friendly on video game consoles and handhelds, more developers are now jumping in to create compelling and addictive online multiplayer gaming experiences. It’s reached a point where single player content often takes a backseat to a well-designed multiplayer mode in order to ensure that gamers hold on to the game for a very long time.
Independent developers have also jumped in on this opportunity by offering online intensive gaming experiences for a modest sum. The recent digital FPS download title Nexius is a good example. More recently however, an interesting new title by the name of Awesomenauts has appeared on the Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Network. Awesomenauts is an unique little action game that solely focuses on multiplayer.
Awesomenauts is a 2D action title that’s classified as a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) and the game takes place in the year is 3578, focusing around a battle between a group of hired mercenaries amidst an intergalactic war."
