"What is man that thou art mindful of him?" wondered the Bible's Psalmist some 3,000 years ago. Today, I ponder a similar question – "What is horse girl that we are mindful of her?"

A horse girl is a girl like any other, and she's worthy of her own video game, as the studio is set to prove with its debut MMORPG Equinox: Homecoming.
"What would happen if we actually approached a title for this demographic with the same seriousness and budget that we would give to, like, a double A kind of production for any other demographic? Traditional teenage dudes in black t-shirts and jeans?" Blue Scarab CEO Colin Cragg – previously the CEO for tween horse MMO Star Stable – tells me during a recent interview.
