Game Reviews/Recommendations!

So recently, because I'm not in school, I've tried a couple of MMOs (Massively Multiplayer Online) and I have to say they are both impressive.

PWI - Perfect World International

This game is done by Perfect World Entertainment which is a China-based online game company.

The game itself is styled well, the graphics are impressive (this also depends on your RAM and graphic quality).

Starting out, the game has quick leveling up until level 30, where leveling seems to be harder.

PWI features 6 races, with 2 classes each. The two classes in each race are counterparts, one melee and one magic base. (Ex. Blademaster and Wizard are the two classes for Human)

The most recommended is usually Venomancer or Barbarian (Untamed race, only classes specified to a gender).

I personally love all of them, honestly. They have great combat styles.

The game does not have a membership system, or monthly fee, the game is free to play, though, as most MMOs do, has a virtual boutique if you wish to put in real money, you can.

The skills you acquire are unlocked from cultivation quests that you do once you reach a certain level. These are usually the most difficult quests in game. You will see on the chat log people will be asking for help at almost all times.

The game is rated T for Teen. ESRB does not rate multiplayer interaction and chat between users. Rated for mostly(or at least I assume, I don't have a list):
Mild Language (this is only rating game dialogue, not what users type)
Fantasy Combat
Violence
(also the female attire is "skimpy", it's frustrating)

This is, at least what I have seen.

Now to the one I started yesterday!

Guild Wars 2 by ArenaNet

Guild Wars 2 is styled well and with graphics set to high, textures are stunning. You have 5 races to choose from, all having the same professions (classes).

There are 8 professions, all having their pros and cons. Similar to most games, there isn't really a "best class". It really depends on what you want to do.

If you want to shoot with a bow, go with a Ranger.

If you wish to use magic based combat, choose Elementalist, Necromancer, or Mesmer.

Do you want to be a tank or fight up close melee? Guardian or Warrior

Be different? Engineer (this seems like a really cool profession)

And the one kind of left out is Thief. Though I do really like it :)

ESRB rating is T for Teen-
Blood
Mild Language
Use of Alcohol
Violence

GW2 is not as "MMO-ish" as some are and can get away from certain things some people will be annoyed with in other games. The storyline works well and your own character gets one.

This game does not have a membership or monthly fee but does cost money upfront.The game can be bought for PC or Mac download or physical copy on Amazon for about 20 dollars.

I recommend them both and I'll be posting soon! See ya! - Robs
