Learn a Spell or Two with Wizard101


REVIEW

Wizard101 is a browser-based game chockfull of magical surprises. First off, this game did not scrimp on presentation with its vivid introductory trailer upon clicking new wizard at the start. It tells the story of their wizarding world Spiral and the evil magic casters and his evil forces have started to use magic for bad deeds. Nothing original, but it helps that the plot is not the complicated since this game is intended for the young ones. What captured my interest further is the voice over since very few developers add this factor to browser-based games.

Champions of the World? – A Look at Champs Free to Play Side


REVIEW

Slap bang in the middle of Champions Online. Having never tried the game before, and with covering DC Universe Online for the last month or so, I figured it would be a good idea to try Champs for comparison. And since Cryptic and Atari went Free to Play with it last month, I figured now was as good a time as any.

EverQuests Age of Rediscovery: First Impressions (Again)


REVIEW

Fippy Darkpaw and Vulak'Aerr are a week old now. And while I admit I've not spent as much time playing as I would like there have been good reasons for it! All of my allotted Everquest time has been going towards reading guides and finding out information. But I'll go into that a bit more later. What have I done so far on Fippy? Well, I rolled myself up a Wood Elf which as it so happens was the first race I ever played back in the day and was easily my favorite. I've run around the newbie area and enjoyed the city in the trees. I've fallen out of the city several times. But then who doesn't? So after having played around a bit what are my first (re)impressions.

Welcome to a Fantastic Age!: One Man in a Land of Children


REVIEW

Fantage is for kids. And I'm not saying that because I think it's childish, or silly. The game was designed for children. It is closely monitored by the developers to try and provide a safe environment for children between six and fourteen and I think that anything that builds the next generation of gamers is a great thing.
