For this trio of opinion pieces, we are going to be attempting a general connecting theme. That theme being canceled games. It is never a good thing when video games become canceled games. What was going to be a good experience can quickly become a “what if”. In the first of the Roundtables focusing on canceled games we will be going over our favorites that were rarely shown to the masses. Let\u2019s begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Announced in 2006 by MGM, Stargate Worlds<\/em> was to be an MMORPG where you could explore the world of Stargate. The two key factions would be the forces of Earth and the Goa’uld, the latter being the primary antagonists of the series for the first eight seasons of Stargate SG-1.

The game was to be an expansion on much of the lore introduced into the series canon as well as making use of one of the four races that were mentioned in Season 2’s “The Fifth Race”. The four races being the Asgard, the Nox, the Ancients, and The Furling’s. Or in the case of Stargate Worlds’ THE Furling. As CME developer Steve Garvin mentions the Furling being “a single entity that stretches across time, able to see the past and the future<\/strong>, “a single entity that stretches across time, able to see the past and the future,\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
