If you have been paying attention to the industry in the last year or so, one thing has become abundantly clear. Sandbox games are popping up everywhere. The newest addition to the club is a game from Asylum Entertainment titled Identity. With the sandbox market becoming increasingly saturated, it's hard to stand out from the crowd. After watching the nine minute video, Identity certainly has grabbed our attention. For starters, the title chooses a modern real world setting as opposed to the fantasy staple of the genre. The feature list promised seems ambitious, but not overly so. Identity seems to ride a fine line between interesting conceptual ideas and feasible implementation.
