GamingShogun has posted their hands-on impressions of the upcoming MMO, Stargate Worlds, from Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment. The MMO is based off of the long-running sci-fi tv show, Stargate SG-1, and features many of the locations, characters, and technologies from the show.

"The dev then played a bit of the game, showing us the ropes and, most importantly, the cover system they have devised. Combat is handled with old-school 'internal dice rolls' ala EverQuest. Players will, of course, have special attacks and abilities (with cool-down timers)to use as well. This cover system is what will really separate the combat in Stargate Worlds from other MMOs, however.
