Un-Hyped Game Reviews:
Ever wanted a review about a game without all the hype included? Tired of downloading games with hope and finding them less than what others hyped it to be? Good! You deserve the truth now.
If you are LFG, and have a Title that you'd prefer to have some inside information on, then post a reply.
I will respond to your request to create a thread of your own. Then you can come back and flame me or not. I promise you will be surprised.
One thing that I've learned about gaming is that we are all seeking a place for ourselves, our family, friends, or anything leading to a decent social event. Forget about the graphics, quests, and other mechanics...we want loot and people to show it to. Thats the bottom line with MMORPG.
So...tell me what you want in a game or tell me a title that appeals to you. I'll give you the truth.

AGE OF CONAN:
You land on a beach with nothing but determination.
The game starts with a deep element of RP, a rags to riches kind of theme. After taking about ten steps, you realize that your FPS is sweet or you need a good excuse to buy a better video card and or ram.
The graphics are breathtaking. But, you soon find that pretty pictures don't mean squat when an OP Archer is killing every low level on the server (PvP Jive). It will take a minute for Funcom and friends to put the fun into the game. It is a quest lovers dream or a grinders nightmare, at this point.
My free level 40 Rhino is the slowest mount in the game (rofl) but heck it was free, right? Things are expensive and coinage is slow, but steady.
Some love the game, I Cancelled my subscription for now.
ArchLord:
Modern graphics, great music, and tons of grinding.
I've played every class and I guess mages are my favorite. The loot is decent and interesting. The game is kind of small, which means you'll be fighting for XP. The GM's are always popping in for perks and simple chit-chat, which I found to be a plus.
Leveling is fun until you reach that wall of no return where XP is slow and grinding is high.
Well organized game, very guild oriented, fun to play on rainy nights.
CITY of HEROES/VILLAINS:
Woot!
Yes...this game is fun. You need some graphic power to enjoy it fully, but it's worth the time of day.
This is one of my favorite RPG's that has a twist that you'll come to love...Creating SuperHeroes and ArchVillians. The game has a mixture of land mass with instancing. The quests are fun with a group and the loot is very interesting.
Again, this is a build-type game. You start with a great looking, highly configurable template and build it into a force. There is no room for boredom at the lower levels, but the last few levels upward are tedious because you've mastered the game...Time to build another Hero/Villian!!!
Get your ram in gear and tack on a fan to the video card.
Did I mention fame? Oh yea...you can fame in the fashion of badges. You can get a badge to unlock special powers, flying over buildings, and much more. Never a dull moment.
