First off, let me say I want to slap all of the developers in the back of the head. Whose idea was it to release all these must-have games within six weeks of each other? Don't you geniuses understand that the gaming public does not have 27 hours a day to dedicate to playing games? (Speak for yourself, you whiner. - Ed.) Do you also think we all have an extra $500 sitting around to spend on all these titles within a five week period? (Have you ever heard of armed robbery? - Ed.) Don't get me wrong. I love the fact that I finally get to play some of these titles that I have been waiting years for, but I know that in six months from now I am going to be bitching like an old man with no teeth at a corn on the cob eating contest because of the lack of good titles available.

All right, now that I got that out of my system, let's get to the task at hand. Unless you have been living on a desert island for the past few years, or through force of will alone, blotted out anything to do with the release of World of Warcraft (WoW) and EverQuest II (EQ2), you have to know about all of us pointy-eared, pasty-complexioned, online role-playing fanatics, who have been waiting with baited breath for one, if not both, of these juggernauts to ship. Both titles are available now and SixShooter has already fired off his impressions about World of Warcraft, leaving me to talk about EverQuest II.
