Warhammer Online is a great game. It's only been out for a short time now and already has over 1 million subscribers. The RvR (or Realm versus Realm) experience take player versus player combat to a new level. There's a game here for everyone, whether you like to play alone, with groups against the game or with groups against other people.

They are already about to release several new classes and we're not even 2-months into release.

I already bought a 6-month subscription and I know that's only the start.

Worthless guide. Save your money! Not only that but I am very
sorry I bott this game. Thott I would enjoy a change from WOW which I have played for about two years. It is a change alright. Be careful voting for change, might get an unpleasant surprise as I did. Actually the game is about par with Guild Wars which one can play without cost online after the purchase of the game. I will not pay to continue playing Conan. It is back to Wow. After my initial 30 days of free play ends it will be goodbye Conan.

The expansion is very well done. The new content is inventive, engaging, and very well produced. So why only 2 stars? The new instances and raid content are way too easy. Blizzard didn't just dumb this game down, they emasculated it.

After years of WoW, Warhammer PVP is a breath of fresh air. Addicting and fun! The collector edition has awesome art books, paintable ork, and other goodies that made it feel like it was worth more money, and not just a bigger box, like most games.

This game is the jewel in the crown for Rockstar Games. I bought it for my son and let him finish all the missions first, of course, and now I sneak it while he's at school and have a blast. It's got a great storyline with different endings. It's pretty linear but you never feel forced or boxed into following a set path as you can always go off on a side tangent and have fun and forget the missions for a while.

I highly recommend it for everyone, except younger children as it can be pretty bloody, graphic, and profane. But that's what makes it so fun for the rest of us.

the game incorporates a draconian DRM system that requires you to activate over the internet, and limits you to a grand total of 3 activations. If you reach that limit, then you'll have to call EA in order to add one extra activation. That's not as simple as it sounds, since when you reach that point EA will assume that you, the paying customer, are a filthy pirating thief. You will need to provide proof of purchase, reasons why the limit was reached, etc, etc (it has all happened before with another recent EA product, Mass Effect). EA, of course, is not obligated to grant you that extra activation or even provide that service. In a couple of years they might very well even shut down the general activation servers, because "it's not financially feasible" to keep them running. What you will be left with is a ... Read More

A very average MMORPG. I tried pretty much all the MMORPG's that have come out over the years and this one is no exception. Its fun like all the others in the first few levels when you are trying to figure out the game, but thats about it. After that the game is too repetitive and dependent on the same style of questing, no out of the box ideas. This game has done a marvelous job of taking ideas from old games like Everquest and Anarchy online and World of Warcraft and putting them together in one game, but they couldn't be original when it came to questing.

The combat system is very unique, but get quite boring after you get used to it.

Nothing special in this game In my opinion.

Worth trying? nope

I've been a Robert E. Howard fan for years having read all of his original Conan stories and many of his other works. The enjoyment of this game comes down to which class you pick. For example the Assassin class (a typical rogue class) can be fun but is very frustrating to play since its so easy to die when soloing. A Dark Templar (a dark fighter who leeches health from enemies) is much easier and thus, more enjoyable to play.

Pros:
+ This game visually captures that world in all of its grim beauty. Amazing backgrounds, detailed areas, and characters that all look different and dress in appropriate clothes for their job. Level 80 characters don't 'shimmer and glow' like the 70's in WoW. In fact, unless you put your cursor over them, you can't tell.
+ Interactive combat system

Foget your highbrow accounts of mid-life crises in the Hamptons. Forget your stories of love lost and won against the backdrop of (insert contrived historical setting here). This is what entertaining, escapist fiction is about. A guilty pleasure, something to be covertly enjoyed? No, by Crom! These stories are uncompromisingly true to themselves, and as a result have more integrity than most things I've read in the last 20 years. If only those writing in Fantasy these days could shrug off the weight of tired tropes and imposed expectations of the genre, they could produce something that approaches the fresh, snappy pace and well-described action that Howard pioneered. True, he had the advantage of helping invent the genre, and didn't have to write under this weight, but that's the fun part - like Raymond ... Read More

Mass Effect might be the first truly cinematic video game experience. Everything from the electronic score to the optional film grain applied to the visuals to the top notch voice acting talent make you believe that you are the lead in a mid-80s classic science fiction film (think Blade Runner or Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan).

The plot is epic. You command a state-the-art starship (the Normandy, which is not unlike the Enterprise) in the twenty-third century with a crew of intersting and well-developed characters some of whom can join you on away missions and others who you can consult from time to time on board the ship. There is a vast galaxy to explore. When you land on a planet you take the Mako (a cross between a shuttle craft, a rover, and a tank) out for a spin. The main story revolves around the remergence ...
