Cryptic Studios and Atari has released the official recommended system requirements for their upcoming MMO game, Star Trek Online. Based on the specs posted on the official site, the game will require at least 1GB of RAM, 1.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo processor with 8GB disk space.

Better practice your Klingon, Star Trek fans. It turns out that "first quarter of 2010" release window that Cryptic Games gave Star Trek Online was right on the money. The upcoming MMO has been confirmed for a February release in both North America and Europe.

There's no denying that some of the most addictive games out there are MMOs. But if you find it frustrating that you can't have them on your beloved PS3 and Xbox 360, blame Sony and Microsoft.

Cryptic Studios, the guys behind Champions Online and Star Trek Online, have confirmed that they are looking at developing games for the PlayStation 3. Hopefully they're also thinking of porting over some of their MMOs to the console.
