Also seen these days are:

M assively
M ultiplayer
O nline
F irst
P erson
S hooter

for online games that rely more on "twitch" (the player's own reflexes and internet connection speed) than on roleplaying a character, and

M assively
S ingleplayer
O nline
R ole
P laying
G ame

for games like the (unfortunately delayed) Spore where you'll have access to objects (creature types) created by other players, but you won't interact directly with other players. (At least, that's how it's currently being described. This may change by the time Spore actually ships.)
