silver potionWhen it comes to MMORPG, no one beats the South Koreans. They have the highest subscribers (millions of them) registered for the more popular games. In fact, Pearl Research, a San Francisco-based firm estimated South Korea's online PC and mobile games will be somewhere around billion in 2007.

And to show you how seriously they take their games over there, last year a South Korean man collapsed and, unfortunately died after a 50-hour marathon playing session with World of Warcraft. Now that's serious addiction! As a result, the South Korean government started offering welfare programs treating its online-game addicted citizens.

To the list of addictive MMORPG titles, you can add Silver Potion. The game has a cool website which seems viewable via Internet Explorer. It doesn't have much text but it does have an English voice-over. From that narration and the first screenshot, it looks like Silver Potion is going to be a sci-fi, action-adventure heavy on post-apocalyptic world Angst. Which is how they like they're MMORPG in Korea, we guess.

We hope Silver Potion comes with a potion that treats addiction to this game!
