Default [Mashable] Sparkplay Gets $4.25M to Launch MMO Games

Quote:
It sounds like Sparkplay is pushing towards the more casual, lighter-weight games that are still web-based and offer a variety of options to users, in terms of things like their level of interactivity and amount of time spent per session. EA Games is moving towards a light weight approach, which is more appealing to a broader audience, that can be reached through an online market.
Sounds fun...well, maybe for people who aren't *pro* enough for mobile phone WoW

for a browser-based game, it's pretty impressive. Even the best java-based 3D MMORPGs don't seem to compare graphically to this one. Gameplay is something on the other hand we have to wait for.
