Online Browser Games like Evony

We've spoken about it recently, but the growth in the free online web browser games arena seems to actually be making a small dent in the general static PC gaming industry.

We've pointed to Evony, the recent smash hit MMORPG that aims to bring a World of Warcraft feel to a simple yet good looking browser interface. It might not be simple in terms of gameplay, keeping true to the RTS and MMORPG gamer core, but the overall concept of Evony is quite attractive to both players and potential investment companies.

DOTA (a mere mod) was a game that really made Blizzard sit up and take notice. Their Warcraft3 franchise suddenly had so much more potential, this time through a simple MOD (Game addon).

The other interesting part to the online browser games community is the how the new growth occurs, a release such as Evony which is highly positive and gets new gamers into the scene actually can draw new players to the free online game spce.

Suddenly people are search for titles such as Travian and Dogs of the Sea to name just a few in the browser based gaming niche.
