Demons and cowboys fighting for control of holy sites to prevent, or start, the destruction of the world by a fallen angel? Sounds like a pretty good premise for an MMORPG to me! In Priest, which is based off a manga series of the same name, you can either team up with the Heretics, Lovecraftian-style demons, or Templars, gunslingers who have banded together under the disgraced priest Ivan Issacs to protect the world from the demonic Heretics, and their leader, the fallen archangel Temozarela. Choosing sides is a big part of the game, since there's an all out war going on at all times between the factions, and the powers each group can have are vastly different. In the demo I saw, a Heretic slaughtered a bear and proceeded to eat it raw to regain health. I'm fairly certain the good guy Templars can't do that, though it'd be pretty amusing if they could.

The game's graphics are fairly standard for an MMORPG, though the character models are so unique that they actually drew me to the booth. From what I've seen of Priest, it looks like it might just have a chance to cause a stir in the MMORPG market, but only if the game gets more enemies. The demo I saw had only bears, at least 20 of the lumbering brutes, wandering around the map. Maybe it's just me, but I never pictured the Wild West as being a bear covered wasteland, so hopefully it was just for the demo.
