When it comes to rhythm games, you never really get to see anything new because the game's practically just you listening to music and letting your fingers do the tapping. It's just a skill based game that leaves too little for the imagination of developers to well, develop. This is of course based on the rhythm games I have played as a reviewer and an avid MMOR player. However, Highstreet5, Snail Game's rhythm game goes out of the box and provides rhythm players with something more than just finger tapping goodness.

Plane Shift is an innovative 3D MMORPG that made its debut back in May 2002. Although the game is old and possibly outdated, most of its features remain fresh and unchallenged by modern MMO games. Its game play mechanics are really simple but hard to master, especially since your character does not rely on classes. What made this game absolutely special is its compatibility with all three computer operating systems (Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux). The game is constantly being updated (yearly, I think), launching its most recent update in December 2009 (Now that's what I call support), providing more "updated" features for the most up-to-date gamers. Unlike other MMOs, roleplaying is encouraged in the world of Plane Shift, making use of its expansive and interesting lore, while also being the first choice in the server selection screen. It may be a bit hardcore for casual players, but it's quite enjoyable for those who want a change of scenery. 

Age of Armor is a client based MMORPG from Snail Games. The game follows the story of humanity going against its enhanced counterparts, the enhanced humans and neo humans. Your part in the game's grand scheme of things is to be an armor pilot, the game's version of a robot/mech pilot, of your chosen race and planet.

Everyone that's into MMORPGs has at least heard of International Ragnarok Online (iRO). It was one of the first MMORPGs of its time to serve up 2D and 3D visuals giving itself an old school J-RPG feel to it. iRO has been around since 2002 and many things have changed in order to keep up with the times and competition. Does iRO have what it takes to stay alive in this ever expanding MMO market or is this age old classic past its prime?

Now who doesn't remember Quake 3? Released in 1999, Quake 3 was embraced by FPS players everywhere, spawning countless tournaments around the world. Who didn't like Quake 3? The game was more than just your regular FPS in my opinion, with rocket jumps and other cool stuff that is not delivered by most FPSes. Quake 3 will definitely hold a place in our hearts-- but why stop there? Introducing Quake Live, an MMO game that lets players relive their Quake 3 memories in the comfort of their web browser (or so they say). When I first heard about this game, I knew I had to try it out. The best part is that the game is free-to-play so I guess you don't have to pay for a shard of nostalgia, but is Quake Live really as good as its client based predecessor? Let's see...

What happens when Blade Mistress leaves? Blade Mistress Returns, that's what. For those who are unaware, Blade Mistress Returns (BMR) serves as the rebirth of the once famous MMORPG. The game is a fossil that has been spit-shined to its former glory. The graphics, game play, and content are almost the same, with only some minor tweaks. I'm not really a big fan of the game (even before) and was easily disappointed after seeing its almost unbearable graphics. You can't really blame me since the first DOOM game looked a lot better. Blade Mistress used to be a pay-to-play game back in 2002 (Windows 95 days lol), but eventually turned free-to-play after facing its modern competition. Without further notice, the game went under maintenance, leaving a note that assured its fans of the game's return; however, after years of waiting, the game failed to reappear, leaving its fans and lovers in discontent. Now that the Blade Mistress is back, our heroine faces her greatest challenge yet---- the crowd she betrayed. Is it too late for BRM to work her Windows 95magic? Let's see, shall we?

Too often in the MMO genre we see the standard fantasy medieval setting recycled and repackaged for mass consumption. In this respect, Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent delivers a welcome breath of fresh air. Set in a unique steampunk backdrop of Victorian-era technology and ancient magic, this is a free-to-play 3D MMO that is strongly story driven, surprisingly expansive, and sports a grand PVP system.

It's really easy to name a musical game since people aren't really new to it nowadays. Games with note balloons (Arrows) like Dance Dance Revolution and Audition are pretty much everywhere, and although we end up hearing the same set of songs all over again, it never really stopped us from playing these games for a long period of time.

Lord of The Rings Online is an MMORPG based on J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of The Rings franchise, that spawned a movie trilogy and countless video game titles. The game was released in 2007 by Turbine, the company responsible for games like Dungeons & Dragons Online and Ascheron's Call.

The latest version update has been quite tumultuous primarily caused by the increase in level cap but new features such as Abyssea have also shaken up the way things are done.  This update will not disappoint. 

At first glance, Three Kingdoms Online game seems to be similar to a lot of the browser based games out there. You have the usual resource gathering- structure building gameplay that just uses the three kingdoms era of Chinese history.
