The (hopefully) most epic golf game ever devised is currently in the free beta stage. All credit of my finding this game goes to CNN. Modeled to be the World of Warcraft for the adult, sports oriented group of gamers. Able to be opened in a browser window totally ruins any productivity, as CNN stated, that I had, have, or will ever have in class I do believe. I just can't get over the graphics of the game. From what I understand they used pictures of golf courses and placed your golfer/ball in the image. Sounds wacky but it works if you can get over the cartoon'y character standing in a very photo-realistic environment (which it should be because it is, actually, a photo). I am going to be keeping a close watch on this one.

The most epic golf game ever is a golf game that won't be played in a browser window. Sorry I can't stand games like that besides dinky flash games that I play for a few minutes then forget about.

I just played it and it's very impressive for what it is but I'd rather be playing a seriously made golf game with more control.

These are very valid arguments, however for a game built and meant to be played in the browser window while attacking boredom in class/work I thought it was pretty good. Especially if the online multiplayer becomes what it could be. I shall have to wait and see I suppose.

For what it is, it is very nice.
