What I’m playing
I have been playing a fair number of games recently. Three of these titles are MMOs, the others are console games. The games are listed below in no particular order:
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning (MMORPG)
I have really been enjoying Warhammer Online. Many have complained that the gameplay too closely resembles World of Warcraft. To me, that is one of the games strengths. I have no difficulty picking up and playing this game after two years of exclusively playing WoW. The launch was smooth, but not without it’s hiccups (like disappearing icons and texture popping). I feel that this will be a game I continue to play along with World of Warcraft for the time being. Which leads me to……
World of Warcraft (MMORPG)
This game really needs no introduction. With nearly 12 million subscribers, I am pretty sure you know what this game is. I don’t play hardcore at all, I mostly use my Level 70 Rogue to do daily quests and amass some cash before the expansion: Wrath of the Lich King. This is the MMORPG I have played the most, and while I do find myself getting bored at times, this is one of the reasons why I put it down and try other games. Besides Warhammer Online, the other game I decided to try was……
Tabula Rasa (MMORPG)
Tabula Rasa was so cheap ($5 for the standard edition and $30 for the Collector’s Edition) that I had to give it a go. What I found was that it is actually a pretty fun game with some great ideas. I love the sci-fi setting and the combat is interesting. The only thing I fear about this game is that it won’t last long enough to live up to it’s potential. It’s still definitely worth a shot, and hey, the price is right.
On the console side of things, I have been playing a lot of Soul Caliber 4 (360/PS3), Grand Theft Auto 4 (360/PS3), Burnout Paradise (360/PS3), Castle Crashers (XBLA), and Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (360/PS3/PS2/PC). I plan on reviewing each of these games shortly. Well, there you have it, what I have been playing lately. I will be back in a bit to let you know what I have been reading and watching as well as what I have been listening to. As always, thanks for reading.
