The Multiplayer Online Games Directory

http://www.mpogd.com/

"The current trend in computer gaming is to make games for multiple players, and even have them solely based off the internet. Currently there are many Multiplayer Online Games (MPOG) in free beta testing, and tons more in development. I have searched the web to find all the Multiplayer Online Games, and I have compiled this directory of links, reviews, prices and screenshots of many of the playable games on the Net. I have focused on the TCP/IP games that are completely based off the internet, and I have not listed the popular modem/serial/IPX Network games." Listings are organized by type/genre of game (role-playing, board, action, casino, etc.)
