The Most Amazing...and Annoying Game I've played

Holy Beast Online, is an extremely fun, and wonderful MMO where you have the ability to shape shift from Human to Animal at will. There are multiple animal clans to choose from including...yes...a Dragon.

You may have noticed that I have no screens of the game.

Due to the way you must log in and load the game, it will continually have irritating issues loading up. The most common is when you turn your computer off the game will dump all of it's BGM, and Appearance data, forcing you to re-download it the next time you start the game. (Depending on the speed of your Internet Provider this could take several minutes, usually about an hour) Also, if you move the game from its original location by any means, the game will not acknowledge the installation, forcing you to uninstall and reinstall the game (the repair option will NOT work).

If you're the type that can stand all of this and still play the game, it is simply amazing game! Graphics, music, battles whole nine yards are near perfection.

Unfortunately, the game has to many problems for it to get away with anything more then a 5 out of 10 (2.5 out of 5)

OMG! It's zOMG!

Having a Gaia Account myself, I got into the zOMG! beta tests. (closed and open). zOMG! has a unique combat system revolving around combat rings. Not to mention a unique style of leveling I have never before seen in a MMO, where the weapons level instead of the character, and your only as strong as your best rings. The community...well It's Gaia, they have one of the best communities around which definitely helps the mood of this game.

The monsters are really funny. They don't have the "too cute to kill" look but you might get an odd feeling after slicing a Lawn Gnome in half with one of your sword rings.

The only major problem is the LAG!!!
zOMG! lags a TON, there are ways to reduce it, but even with them there is still a lag issue with the game. If this gets fixed though zOMG! could quickly become an amazing MMOrpg.
Here's a nice 8.0 out of 10 (4 out of 5) for ya from Lord-MMO a (fairly) active zOMG! player

A not-so-popular popular classic



Rival Saga is a browser based RPG that I believe to be an MMO; the main site: http://www.rivalsaga.com has a population counter for how many people are online at the time, but I've yet to see it go over 2000 which is also probably why I've yet to see other people...
The battle systems are turn based but the graphics are surprisingly good for any browser-based game I've ever seen. The effects of your skills, although not as good as any downloaded MMO are still pretty well made and fun to watch.

It makes little difference rather I was mislead about this being an MMOrpg or not, Rival Saga is a game I think any medieval fantasy fan would enjoy, and if they have time to kill I say go check it out.
5.5 out of 10 (2.5 out of 5)








Fly For Fun, because everything else is down right boring...



Let me just come right out and say the only thing this game really has going for it is it's graphics and great music.
Besides that it's really nothing special...
Everything in the game may look really expensive, but you gain money relatively quick, also if you stick to the quests your given at your levels the monsters are a joke, Quick and easy kills no matter what road you take which doesn't really help much considering most quests require you to hunt monsters for special quests items that are hardly ever dropped.
Not only that but you'll hardly ever need the loads of food you pick up from them. Come level 20 you have enough food to feed a small village right inside your backpack.

Teleporting to the nearest town takes so long that your better off just walking or flying...


The end result is a 4.5 out of 10
(2 out of 5)

Take one part dragon theme and mix well with 3D Maple Story

What an amazing game!
There are things you will love and hate about Dragonica for starters, it uses the classic combat style originally made for Maple Story, also in terms of weapons and armor it's pretty limited. There are only a few classes, and although the level cap is up in the hundreds, you can become your max level job at level 40.
The graphics are really a matter of opinion with this game, depending if you like the animish-cartoon style in RPG games.



Just like my latest score in the level 5 mission map I give this game a B
(Call that a 8.6 out of 10 or a 3.2 out of 5)

One more thing I should mention about this game is that it has been re-made by at least three different RPG sites. For the best and most accurate game experience, I recommend the original version on http://dragonica.iahgames.com
I'm currently playing the THQice version and I gotta say the story lines have been severely chopped up, like it was hard-translated from Japanese

Luna the Prettiest Moon You'll Ever See.

The monsters not only ignore you, but they go so far as to have thier own conversations
>_>

Luna Online, like the title says is, one of the most adorable games I've probably ever played. Rather your playing as a cute chibi elf girl, or a less then masculine boy Luna is a game that will keep you hooked for a long long time.
One of the things I like most is the freedom of customization. Any class can use any weapon at any time (as long as you meat the level requirements for said weapon), on top of that a class can use not only armor set for that class, but any armor lower then that. For example a Warrior can not only use Heavy armor, but also Light leather armor and robes. Unfortunately mages are limited to only robes because of this, but I think having a mage with a 2handed sword more then compromises as far as looks and sheer awesomeness is concerned.
The npcs are also all as cute as can be, they show different facial expressions based on what there talking about which is a pretty cool feature.
I give this game an easy 9.6 out of 10 (4.8 out of 5)
This game will be a fun time to anyone...as long as the total overkill cute doesn't get to you first...
