Game to watch for..
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Its set to release sometime now, and the graphics are really good. Somehow this is the first *fantasy* MMORPG that seems to have interested me. Should watch for this one..

Look's good. What about the game you are creating?
My game is developing very slowly, has nearly crawled to a halt due to examinations and general lack of free time. I really don't think about Isaac Asimov's Universe 2 months before IIT-JEE. :-)
Well, the problem is that there don't exist real sword-fighting games that allow all degrees of freedom that real life gives. For that we need a wireless stick that senses motion, hence can be used to simulate a virtual sword.. I played a stupid console game a very very long time back where we shot ducks on-screen using a motion-sensor real-world toy-gun.
So if Prince of Persia and these games allow really full-fledged motion, I think that will be virtual reality attained.
PS: For some unknown reason, I kept getting reminded of Matrix when I wrote the above paragraph.

Shashank, what you dream of will be here in not time. Already such technologies are being developed, but the real goal is to develop something that will sell.
Which is the basic problem with everyone out there. They mostly aim at what will sell, not at what is of quality. The technologies I speak of already exist, nearly. The companies focus more on developing sell-able products rather than take risks and spend the big bucks on research, as they mostly look at short-term profits. Virtual Reality hasn't picked up because everyone treated it like an orphan and waited for the someone else to invest money in it. Typical Chicken-Egg question.
error-will be here *in no time.
