World of Warcraft. If you are like me you've probably seen the hyperbolic descriptions of this new MMORPG in previews and reviews. Is it really that good?

For the most part, yes it is. The game is visually stunning, has more story and quest material in it than I've ever seen, and packs it all into an excellent interface. The music, the art, the story, everything is as good or better than previews had indicated. In fact, the least appealing aspects of the game are some of the conceits that it inherited from MMORPGs as a genre.

World of Warcraft - aptly acronymed WoW. I have had the pleasure of experiencing Blizzard's latest and greatest edition to their repertoire. WoW has quite literally topped the charts, selling 240,000 copies on it's first day Then followed it up with a staggering record for Massively Multiplayer Online Game in the U.S by having over 100,000 players online at one given point in time. The players expected grand visuals, demanded perfection in playability, and roared for a game that would make them say "wow". Blizzard delivered.
