Mostly what he says is right. Coupla other things need to be said, though. 1) Sense of fun - WoW has this in spades. Everything has a bit of a sense of humor to it, and there are many little things that are just fun to see or do in the game. Wrap…

Interesting article, but I think it misses the point. The problem is trying to put single-player game type features into a multi-player game. Sure, day and night cycles where the shops close might sound nice and immersive, but in reality it's just a…

At first I was kind of undecided about this, but the more I think about it, the more I don't like it. The whole idea of having a virtual world is to divorce it from reality. So you can be someone you're not, enjoy the game world on even terms with e…

Interesting shots... it makes me wonder again just how easy it will be to control emote actions... in the screenshots and movies we've been shown, the characters often perform some kind of interesting action... a bow, a curtsie, throwing their hands…

I have never been this excited about any game, ever, and that's saying something since I've been playing computer games since... well since Pong came out LOL. Did I preorder? Oh yeah.
