I’ve heard this thought echoed across the internet for months now and it’s getting a little old. Aion Online is not a “WoW Clone.” By repeating that little bleet, all you’re doing is proclaiming your ignorance of what the game is even about. What is it that makes a game a clone of WoW anyways? …

Why Fallout 3 doesn’t do it for me:
Since Fallout 3 came out last year, people have been practically going crazy over the game. With the continual arrival of new expansion packs to keep the game fresh there appears to be no end in sight for the behemoth adventure of the kid from Vault 101. Don’t get me wrong, this game has a …
The real impact of cross server dungeons
One of the lesser known tidbits of information to come out of Blizzcon is that WoW will soon support cross server dungeons. This is an update they plan to release before the expansion hits in one of the few remaining major patches headed our way. When I first read about this, I was ecstatic. As …
Ace of Cakes: Warhammer Edition (pictures)
Tonight marked a big night for the Warhammer crew. It was the night the world saw their very own cake, modeled after a squig and it’s loveable throaty friend, the goblin! The show was entertaining to watch. Duff and the crew at Charm City cakes outdid themselves on this one and gave us some good …
A Month at Warcraft: the first five levels (and reminded of Aion)
Since I’m spending this month getting re-acquainted with WoW, I thought that it might be a good idea to share this revisit with you all. We all know that “going home” isn’t always the same as when you first started, for better or worse. I’m not going to spend a lot of time in this …
Champions and the rest: just go for it
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever been excited for a game and let a review talk you out of buying it? If your answer is yes, let me encourage you to throw that hesitancy to the wind and go for it. Don’t let someone else’s opinion of the game ruin it for …
A Month at Warcraft
I decided today that I’m going to resubscribe to WoW until Aion Online launches in September. I’ve been dangling dangerously at the precipice of resubbing for a while now, especially since MMO-Champion leaked all of the details on the upcoming expansion but what officially made me take the dive was visiting a couple of friends …
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm confirmed
Because I would be remiss not to mention it, WoW: Cataclysm is coming! There’s a lot of great stuff headed our way that should make leveling 1-60 almost a completely new experience. I can’t wait. There’s too much information for me to review here, so why don’t you head over to WoW.com and check out …
I finally enjoy first person shooters – but an MMO?
Well, it took a little while but I’m finally having fun playing online multiplayer for an FPS. That’s actually the main reason for my absence yesterday. A little bit of history might help explain the situation a little bit. My history with First Person Shooters goes back to the days of Doom. I loved that …
Why should some roles be more difficult than others?
During my World of Warcraft days, I heard an interesting description of the three trinity roles. It went something like this: DPS is a game, healing is a challenge, tanking is a job. That’s a pretty poignant assessment of the classes most of us play if you think about it. The description holds water pretty …
