Fans of Captain Jack Sparrow and his
motley crew will be wise to keep their eyes peeled this E3. Disney will be unveiling the first images -- along with a
playable version -- of Pirates of the Caribbean Online, a massively-multiplayer online game that should be
hitting shelves in 2007. Although a pirate-themed MMO isn't a new idea, taking a film with such a cult following as Pirates of the Caribbean and turning it into a MMORPG could prove a stupendous hit -- as long as it's done right. Disney's VR Studio, the developers behind the family friendly Toontown MMO, are on board for the project -- it's billed as being for "teens to adults" so it'll hopefully have more of a mature feel than Toontown. However, as long as it has Jack Sparrow in, some fans might not care.
