Guild Wars bites the dust...

At it's peak Guild Wars was one of the best online games I had ever come across to date. It's stunning graphics and easily enjoyable Role Play stories as well as PvP story plot and arenas made it a game that topped even World of Warcraft.

Notice of course that I said "At it's peak," and "was." Do to constant interference from Anet the team responsible for Guild Wars' function, as well as the mass production of builds via a PvX Wiki website, the game has taken a dramatic turn for the worst.








Guild Wars' skills are constantly being "Improved" (oh please) twisting and perverting them from their original genius, into skills that make you question why they were ever made in the first place. A skill that once did additional damage to an enchanted target would now do little more then cause that target to bleed and become crippled (even if they aren't enchanted). And skills that were once used for "back up protection" or "makeshift healing" have become full scale healing and protection abilities. Unique builds that showed off ones creativity and genius are a thing of the past with everyone using the same build as everyone else.

Will the realise of GW2 save Guild Wars? I do not think so. With the level cap rased from 20 to somthing much higher Guilld Wars will loose it's entire theme of Stratagy and Teamwork. Also by adding jumping, races, and the rumor of mounts coming in, GW2 might verry well become a Free 2 Play World of Warcraft...Who knows...maybe Arena Net will come to their sences and change the skill back, and maybe orgionality can shine on this game once more...

May Guild Wars R.I.P with a 7 out of 10 score

It's Time For a FIESTA!

First off let me say what an absolutely beautiful game! The graphics are stunning and the music is fast paced and catchy. (One of their themes ended up on a commercial for "Tyler Parry's House of Payne") I loved watching the skills activate, the whole game has wonderfully captivating colors and sound.

The game does however have a few drawbacks. For starters unless you buy a beauty kit off of the website (costs REAL money) your character is stuck with limited faces and blue hair. Also in terms of races they're decided in a pretty stereotypical way. If you choose Fighter or Priest you'll be human, and if you choose ranger or mage you'll be Elven.





Most of the monsters have an "Almost to cute to kill" aura about them which I've only seen in a rare selection of games. They've even gone so far as to give some of the monsters captions that show them asking for mercy which, if it doesn't give you a total guilt trip, will give you a sick kick or two.






Above all my favorite part of Fiesta are the level restricted Kingdom Quests. KQs put you with a large group of other players all around you level (normally resulting in about 3-5 parties per quest) and require you to finish a challenging task within the time limit. Most of these are extremely fun, but are near impossible to do without at least 2 Clerics to protect against the hard hitting bosses.


With a 4.8 out of 5 (9.7 out of 10) I recomend Fiesta to anyone. It's a great game with lots of fun ways to keep you hooked.

Keep up the good work Outspark!

Another World? Maybe Not...

I went inside AW Planet today if you thought Runescape was bad, you should try it's Doppelganger some time.

Access your banks and stores the easy way with AWplanets Unique npc conversations!

The best way I can describe it is this: Runescape Classic with Runescape Low Detail graphics

My "Stat Booster" *cough* Prayer *cough* as well as combat style.

Some of these stats look...oddly familiar...

I also love how these guys have a membership option that costs monthly payments...gets you all sorts of bonus goodies.

It's kinda hard to fish for shrimp when your net's hovering above your head...

Gotta love that Classic Fighting style...

In the long run this really isn't worth your time, your better off playing runescape itself...especially if you speak English because there's not an English speaker to be found on the chats...Who knows...maybe someone's home region was denied access to runescape so he/she made their own version...

This gets a big fat O from your pall MMO

Let's start with one were all familiar with:

Runescape: Most people are in the dark about this game because they stop playing it. I myself have stuck with the game for a while now and I must say, it really has come up from the piece of trash it use to be.

I'll admit it's not "Elder Scroll Oblivion" good graphic wise, there's also the fact that free to play has only 1/80 of the things that members have.

The groups behind runescape will try and convince you the Free play is not a demo but a game all its own. Free play does have it's own unique quests that the member quests reflect off of (and in most cases require you to do) but don't let that fool you it really is just a demo compared to what you can really get for $5 a month (recently the price rose to 6-something a month for all those who aren't already members.)

But I'm not about to talk to heavily down on what really is a fun game behind the smoke and mirrors of the pay to play option.

Out of 5 stars I would give it about 3.5

(6.5 out of 10)
