    Blizzard didn't make a hit game, they made something far bigger..

    Its argued the World of Warcraft is the greatest MMORPG ever, it has over 10 million players and is widely regarded out side of gaming too. No MMORPG has ever been able to reach the popularity of the iconic game. 


    WoW starts you as a upcoming Human or Dwarf or Orc or which ever race and class you choose. You start of questing like other MMO's to gain experience and new items but quickly gain new this to do. These include instances (dungeons), PvP battlegrounds, group quests and other things you would expect in a MMO. Warcraft is also full of hundreds of guilds which you can join to meet people, play together and generally have lots of fun.

    Besides the cartoony graphics compared to todays standards there really is no downfall to this game. It can entertain you for hundreds of hours and provide fun and fascinating things to do. This game is a MUST for MMO's fanatics everywhere!

    Afk Gaming Rating Scale
    Presentation: 10/10 - I own the Battle chest and its the best bundle I've ever bought.
    Graphics: 7.5/10 - Cartoonish but amazing for 2004 standards.
    Sound: 8/10 - While the sound can get annoying at sometimes its great sounding when not.
    Gameplay: 9.5/10 - I cant go wrong with this rating, it has a great feel as far as spell control and screen layout is.
    Lasting Appeal: 9.5 - Ask the millions who have been playing for years!

    Overall: 89/100

      WoW Section Review: Random Dungeon Finder/LFG 0

      There are plenty of great user reviews here on Giant Bomb for World of Warcraft as a whole.  Unfortunately, I think WoW is far too large a game at this point to really describe as a whole unit.  Those who are interested have access to Wiki pages and other resources to see what the game is all about.  I feel an important aspect is missing here on GB, a look at some of the new systems put in place with content patches, as Blizzard constantly updates the game.  I've seen a LOT of changes over my ...

      The Dawning of MMO's. 0

      When I first saw World of Warcraft I was very skeptical of the title I had enjoyed the original games in the series but the style of the game and the things I had been seeing from its very early alpha stages had me thinking if the game was going to be any good. At this point I set my standards high after playing Everquest for five whole years. I took a step down from the game to play Everquest II which failed to capture the magical effects the original game had given off to me and after spending...
