NCSoft's Cinder City (technically CINDER CITY, but our style guide forbids such a loud use of caps) has been announced, and I feel like I've either been transported back in time, or just watched a clueless time traveller step out of a portal.Details are slim, bar a website and a trailer, but the game's X account promises it'll be "an MMO Tactical Shooter set in a dystopian world, with the...
