Review: World of Warcraft: Cataclysm (PC)


I know what you’re thinking: “This game came out over a year ago. Why is it just getting reviewed now?” I can answer that for you in two parts. First, with the release of patch 4.3, all of the intended Cataclysm content and most of the gameplay balance adjustments have been made and the final version is now in the hands of the players. Second, like any MMO, the game that initially ships generally turns out to be completely different from the game that everyone ends up playing in the end. So without further ado, let’s jump in.

Free to Play MMO Perspective: EverQuest II Extended (PC)


Recently I wondered to myself, “What is so great about MMORPG’s?”, “Why are people so into them?”.  They have been around for quite some time now, and yet I had never tried one.  Maybe it was the old stigma, “They’re for nerds.”, but something had always told me that they just weren’t the kind of game I would want.  Since I couldn’t really justify my prejudice(I am a nerd after all), and I can’t rightly hate something in complete ignorance, I decided to give them a chance.

I didn’t want to commit another bill to my often far stretched budget, so I went looking for Free-to-Play options.  Many games require you to purchase the software and then the game is subscription free.  I had already tried Guild Wars, and did not find it as feature rich as I would have wanted.  That’s when Everquest II:Extendedcaught my eye.  The game is free to download, and getting set up is as simple as creating an account and a character.  Now, there are good and bad things to this “free” game, but I will only be looking at this from a noob viewpoint.  I don’t intend to go into major details of the community or UI, since I am said Noob.
