Pros

Dives right into the action; engaging PvP; heavy emphasis on combat; jaw-dropping moments that draw you into the game.
Public quests are a great idea and a lot of fun, Standalone scenarios are varied and rewarding, Open battles can be wonderfully chaotic, Looks and runs great, with few notable bugs .
Great PvP; public quests; great "meta-game" mechanic; Tome of Knowledge; easy social groupings; guild play.

Cons

Unexceptional quest grinding, especially in middle levels; environments could be larger and more varied.
Extreme PVP focus is detrimental to those looking to quest and play solo, Crafting is poorly implemented and completely unbalanced, Player base is fragmented, even on full servers.
Technical issues; slightly unbalanced population; some unbalanced battlefields; no voice chat.

Warhammer Online is a deeply engaging experience that may not fit the bill in terms of jaw-dropping graphics, but those graphics are good. The real stars of this game are the gameplay and community. The game is multi-layered with enough of an...

Another day, another MMO on the PC. Oh wait, this time it's worth paying attention. Really, Age of Conan has been the only meaningful blip on the MMO radar since World of Warcraft was released, and even Conan seems to have petered off since the...

With over 10 million subscribers, World of WarCraft is the undisputed king of the MMORPG market. When it comes to massively-multiplayer online role-playing games, few can pose any real challenge to Activision-Blizzards WoW. But EA, long-time rival of...

When you look at EA as a game company, you see the largest third party game publisher and producer that basically has their fingers in every pie possible. Whether its sports, shooters or real time strategy, if theres a big market for something in...
