DICE founder Fredrik Liljegren has his sights set on free-to-play games, as he's revealed (via Gamasutra) his new studio, Antic Entertainment. He's joined by Digital Extremes alum Mark Mikulec and Jeff Evans at the London, Ontario-based studio, which features talent from a variety of titles such as Dark Sector, BioShock and DICE's Battlefield series.
In fact, the team's already got a title underway called Junk: Battles (Seriously? You named your game Junk?), an RTS hybrid designed to work in most major web browsers, where users create a ship and battle other users, gaining stats and ship parts as they progress. While the game is in its earliest stages, feel free to battle through all of the junk (sorry!) at its site here.

Junk Battles is cringe-worthy, but makes sense. But Junk:Battles? This is gives me enough reason to finally pull that goddamn trigger... Good bye...

Oh man, I can already imagine the headline that Joystiq uses in its review of this game:
REVIEW: Junk: Battles is just that, Junk but with Battles and Junk

Sad, dissapointing trend. I don't view web games as "real" games, to be honest.
